Happy New Year! This year, 2020, is very special for all of us here at ACF-Metals. Since 1970 to 2020 we have been making outstanding products, and we are going strong! We have the privilege of providing an essential component for experiments being done all over the world, and extending out into space. We appreciate getting to know you, our Customers, through your work, and at conferences as well. ACF plans to attend a few conferences this year, including CAARI/SNEAP in Las Vegas, WTTC in Canada, and INTDS in Switzerland. We would love to know what conferences you will be attending, and if your work will be featured? Please send me an email and let me know! Here's to us all having a wonderful New Year! Cheers!

Here is a great video of a 115µg/sq.cm carbon foil floating on water, and our technician cutting it with scissors. The secret to this technique is making sure to hold the top of the scissor against the top of the foil and cutting bottom up, as opposed to placing the bottom of the scissor against the bottom of the foil and cutting top down. 😊

Loose foils can be intimidating. We all love it when the foil is tight to the substrate, however, at 100µg/sq.cm, often the foil has begun to self-release from the substrate, tis the nature of the beast! This could appear to be a problem, when in fact it's not. I'm attaching a video on this subject, of a loose 2"x3" foil, 100µg/sq.cm, video shows one of our technicians floating a loose foil, with very stable hands. :)
