Copper foil is a thin sheet of copper metal that is used for making printed circuit boards (PCBs). It forms conductive pathways that are important for electronic devices. It is utilized in flexible circuits and wearable electronics like smartwatches, medical sensors, and foldable displays. It is used in the production of energy storage devices like lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors.

It works as the current collector that provides efficient electron transport and improves device performance. It has the ability to shield against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, which makes it useful for EMI/RFI shielding in electronic enclosures, cables, and connectors. It is employed in thermal management systems, like heat sinks and spreaders, to dissipate heat from high-performance electronics. Also, it is malleable, which makes it popular in stained glass art and architectural trim. It is used in transformer windings, cable wrapping, and high-end packaging.

Feedstock for Copper Foil

The manufacturing of copper foil uses copper or recycled copper wire as the major feedstock. The changes in the price and availability of this raw material affect the production of copper foil.

The procurement of copper procurement is influenced by its supply, which is affected by mining output. The changes in its demand in downstream industries like electrical equipment, construction materials, electronics, automotive components, renewable energy systems, and various industrial products govern its availability. Also, the availability of scrap copper for recycling, along with declining ore quality, affects its sourcing strategies. The growing focus on sustainable procurement that reflects environmental and social impacts, along with responsible sourcing and long-term resource availability, impacts its procurement costs. Other economic conditions like currency exchange rates and global outlook, coupled with political instability and regulatory changes in major producing countries, affect supply chains and prices.

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Copper Foil manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Copper Foil manufacturing.

• From Copper: The feedstock for this process includes copper.

The manufacturing process of copper foil starts by dissolving copper or recycled copper wire in sulfuric acid to form a copper sulfate solution. This solution is then introduced into an electrolytic cell, where a rotating drum serves as the cathode, and metal oxide (MMO) anodes are arranged to complete the electrical circuit. A direct current is applied, and copper ions in the solution migrate toward the cathode and are reduced to metallic copper, which deposits onto the surface of the rotating drum. The deposited copper forms a continuous foil that is carefully peeled off the drum. After peeling, the copper foil goes through surface treatments, giving pure copper foil as the final product.
 

Properties of Copper Foil

Copper foil is a thin and flexible sheet of copper that has good electrical and thermal conductivity, high ductility, and corrosion resistance. It appears as a bright red metallic foil with a density of about 8.93–8.96 g/cm³. It has a melting point of around 1083 degree Celsius and notable thermal conductivity that makes it useful in heat transfer applications. It has a high electrical conductivity that is utilized in electronic circuits and connectors.

It is malleable and can be easily shaped or rolled into thin sheets, and its tensile strength and elongation vary depending on temper and processing. It shows good resistance to corrosion in non-oxidizing environments and forms a protective oxide layer when exposed to air. It reacts with strong acids and can develop a green patina because of oxidation. All these physical and chemical properties make it useful in electronics, batteries, heat exchangers, and various industrial and decorative applications.
