The development and present state of production of copper electrolytic foil

Russian research institutes and plants have developed three generations of foil: galvanically resistant, copper plated and brassed foils. Technical parameters of foils with different coatings have been tabulated. Now, the ″Folga″ plant continues works to create new technologies and equipment to obtain foil with specific properties. New processes of producing a foil, with a thickness equal to 5-9 micrometers, on copper and aluminium base, and with thickness of 12-18 micrometers with no base have been described. New technologies for producing foils with properties, similar to properties of foils manufactured by foreign firms, have been developed.
