Description
Technical Parameters

Civen Metal Material (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of 18μm high-precision ra copper foil in China. Welcome to buy bulk durable 18μm high-precision ra copper foil made in China here from our factory. If you have any enquiry about cooperation, please feel free to email us.

 

CIVEN Metal 18μm High-Precision RA Copper Foil is produced through multi-pass cold rolling and controlled-atmosphere annealing. The process is used to maintain consistent thickness, mechanical properties and surface characteristics across the supplied foil.

The material is based on electrolytic tough pitch copper or oxygen-free electronic copper, depending on the specified material grade. Its combination of thin-gauge construction, tensile strength, elongation and electrical conductivity makes it suitable for applications where dimensional control and flexibility are important.

For a broader range of rolled copper foil specifications, see RA Copper Foil for additional thickness and material options.
