Polycrystalline Graphite Foils
Our foils are the most common stripper foils (charge-changing foils) and target supporting foils used in radio-pharmaceutical manufacturing applications and research involving particle accelerators.
Carbon foils made by ACF-Metals are used in nuclear, space physics, time-of-flight, optical, chemical, medical, and microscopy fields.
Our in-house technical team are prepared to answer questions and provide ideas and feedback regarding your specific application.
Greater areal density, easier to handle, and less expensive!
PCG foils have several advantages over standard arc-evaporated foils:
-
Produced to higher areal densities
-
Easier to handle
-
Less expensive for thicknesses greater than 400µg/sq.cm
Standard size polycrystalline graphite foils are freestanding foils of 25mm X 60mm and are shipped in individual protective containers. Foils are also provided in custom "cut sizes" that are ready for immediate mounting on the support of your choice. PCG foils have no known limit to their shelf life.
