Aluminium Pre-Cut Strips High-Purity Soft Foil (0.1mm - 0.2mm)

These aluminium pre-cut strips are a high-purity (Al 99.5) semi-finished material, specifically designed for professional makers who require a highly malleable and lightweight metallic surface. Available in thin gauges of 0.1mm and 0.2mm, these strips offer the perfect balance between structural integrity and ductility. Due to their flexible nature, they can be easily shaped, creased, and embossed, making them an ideal choice for detailed decorative and structural applications.

Applications:

• Architectural Model Making: Perfect for representing modern metallic facades, roofing details, and industrial cladding. The high-purity aluminium can be embossed to simulate corrugated patterns or scale-accurate panel lines, providing a realistic metallic finish for high-end site models.
• Film & TV Prop Making: A go-to material for creating lightweight futuristic props, scientific equipment details, and weathered metallic surfaces. Because it is so thin, it can be wrapped around complex armatures or "distressed" to represent aged or damaged metal on set.
• Industrial & Product Design: Useful for rapid prototyping of "look-and-feel" metallic components. It allows designers to test surface reflections and metallic aesthetics on early-stage mock-ups without the weight or cost of thicker plates.
• Electronics & Shielding: Due to its high aluminium content (99.5%), it can be used in technical contexts for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding prototypes or as a conductive surface in experimental setups.

Key Features:

• Exceptional Malleability: These soft strips can be easily formed and creased by hand or with simple shaping tools, holding complex contours with minimal spring-back.
• High-Purity Al 99.5: Ensures a consistent metallic appearance and high-quality material behaviour during processing.
• Ease of Cutting: Can be precisely cut using standard professional scalpels, craft knives, or heavy-duty scissors, allowing for intricate detail work.
• Aesthetic Flexibility: The smooth, semi-matte surface can be polished to a higher shine or treated with chemical patinas to achieve various industrial textures.

Technical Specifications:

• Material: ALuminium (Al 99.5)
• Thickness: 0.1mm, 0.2mm
• Dimensions: 250 x 400mm
• Properties: Soft, Malleable, Electrically conductive

Processing Note: As these strips are cut from rolls, they do not lay perfecty flat and may contain minor creases or micro-scratches. These qualities are often embraced by professional makers for realistic weathering and industrial effects.
