Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil


Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil for Maximum Heat Exchange & Corrosion Resistance


Our Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil is specially treated to enhance surface hydrophilicity, allowing water to spread uniformly rather than bead. This treatment significantly improves thermal transfer efficiency and reduces moisture accumulation. Designed specifically for demanding heat exchange environments—including air conditioners, refrigerators, condensers, and evaporators—this foil also provides excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental degradation.

Key Advantages

  • Faster condensation drainage and reduced pressure drop in heat exchangers.

  • Improved heat exchanger efficiency due to better surface wetting.

  • Enhanced corrosion resistance, prolonging service life.

  • Uniform coating and treatment for consistent performance.

  • Customizable dimensions and alloys based on system needs.

  • Lightweight and cost-effective alternative to traditional non-treated foil.


Applications


  • Condensers and evaporators in air conditioning systems.

  • Refrigeration equipment (e.g. commercial and industrial).

  • Heat exchangers for HVAC & industrial processes.

  • Automotive radiators / intercoolers / condenser cores.

  • Dehumidifiers and cooling coils.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Q1: What is “hydrophilic treatment” and why is it important?

A1: Hydrophilic treatment modifies the foil surface so that water spreads evenly across rather than forming droplets. This enhances thermal transfer and prevents water pooling, which can obstruct airflow or cause corrosion.


Q2: How is hydrophilicity measured?

A2: It’s typically measured by the contact angle of water on the surface. Lower angles (<30°) indicate good hydrophilicity. Also by how quickly water spreads and drains under test conditions.


Q3: Which alloys are best for hydrophilic foil?

A3: Alloys like 8011, 3003, and 3105 are commonly used because of their good formability and corrosion resistance. For higher strength or special conditions, custom alloy options are available.


Q4: How do I choose thickness and width?

A4: Thickness impacts thermal conductivity and strength; width depends on your heat exchanger or AC coil layout. We recommend balancing thickness vs cost and thermal needs. Provide us with your coil core dimensions or system parameters, and we can help specify.


Q5: What is the lead time for custom hydrophilic foil orders?

A5: Usually 10–20 days after order confirmation for standard sizes. Custom alloys, coatings, or very large widths may take longer.


Q6: How should the foil be packaged and transported?

A6: Packaged with moisture-proof paper / films, protective separators, and transported in crates or pallets to prevent damage during handling and moisture ingress.


Q7: Is hydrophilic foil safe / environmentally friendly?

A7: Yes. Most hydrophilic treatments are water-based or benign, and aluminum itself is recyclable. Our products meet environmental and safety standards.
