Zirconium Foil (Light Tight)

Zirconium Foil (Light Tight) is used in laboratory and research settings where high corrosion resistance, thermal stability, and low neutron capture are required. Its performance in aggressive chemical environments makes it suitable for barrier layers in vacuum chambers, chemical reactors, and electrochemical cells. In nuclear research, it is applied in mock-up studies for fuel cladding and neutron shielding due to its low absorption cross-section. The light-tight form ensures structural integrity and effective shielding in optical and radiation-sensitive experiments. Zirconium foil is also used as a substrate in thin-film deposition and as a diffusion barrier in hydrogen isotope studies, supporting materials science, fusion energy development, and analytical instrumentation.
