Aluminum Sheet Roll Strip 1060 Metal Foil Plate 5mm - 300mm Width 1000mm Length

For electromagnetic shielding and foil-tape applications, 0.05 mm – 0.1 mm is typically sufficient. For thermal shimming between components, 0.1 mm – 0.3 mm provides a balance of conformability and gap-filling. For structural inlay, decorative banding, or mechanical shimming where rigidity matters, 0.5 mm – 1 mm is the practical range. If you are unsure, start with 0.2 mm — it is the most versatile mid-range option.

Measure your channel or slot width precisely and order the next size down to allow for a slip fit, or the exact size if you need a press fit. For example, a 10 mm slot typically works well with a 10 mm strip for a snug fit or an 8 mm strip if you need clearance. All widths are cut to nominal dimension with standard sheet-metal tolerances (typically ±0.1 mm to ±0.3 mm depending on thickness).

1060 aluminum in the annealed (O) temper has a tensile strength of approximately 55–95 MPa, which is lower than structural alloys like 6061-T6. It is well-suited for light structural applications such as inlay strips, decorative banding, and shimming, but is not recommended for load-bearing structural members. For higher-strength requirements, consider 6061 or 5052 alloy instead.

1060 aluminum naturally forms a thin, stable aluminum oxide layer on its surface when exposed to air. This oxide layer is self-healing and provides good resistance to moisture and mild chemical exposure without any additional coating. In harsh environments (salt spray, strong acids or alkalis), additional anodizing or coating is recommended. For most indoor and light outdoor applications, bare 1060 performs reliably over many years.

Yes. The soft (annealed) temper of 1060 aluminum makes it one of the most workable aluminum alloys available. Thin strips (0.05 mm – 0.3 mm) can be cut cleanly with sharp scissors or a utility knife and a straightedge. Thicker strips (0.4 mm – 1 mm) cut well with aviation snips or a metal shear. Bending by hand around a radius equal to or greater than the strip thickness is achievable without cracking for most widths.

The base metal is similar — both use commercially pure aluminum — but HVAC foil tape includes a pressure-sensitive adhesive backing and a release liner. These strips are bare aluminum with no adhesive. They are intended for applications where you will apply your own adhesive, solder, mechanical fastener, or press fit. If you need an adhesive-backed version, you would need to apply aluminum-compatible adhesive tape or contact cement separately.

The nominal length is 1000 mm. Standard sheet-metal cutting tolerances apply, typically ±2 mm to ±5 mm on length depending on the cutting method used. If your application requires a precise finished length, plan to trim to final dimension after receiving the strip. Width and thickness tolerances are tighter, typically ±0.1 mm to ±0.3 mm.
