Tantalum foil/strip is a thin, flexible sheet made from pure tantalum or tantalum alloys, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, high melting point, and biocompatibility.
Tantalum (Ta) is a dark blue-gray metal that is very heavy, ductile and hard and has high corrosion resistance. Tantalum is especially resistant to chemicals at temperatures below 150 °C and can only be dissolved with hydrofluoric acid. It has the fourth highest melting point of all metals and is able to form extremely thin and protective oxide layers for high-quality capacitors, making it an excellent material for foil.
Product Name | Thickness (mm) | Width (mm) | Length (mm) | Material | Standard | Purity |

Tantalum Strip | 0.03 | 1-1.5 | Up to 50000 | UNS R05200, UNS R05400 | ASTM B708-98 | ≥99.95% or 99.99% |
Key Properties of Tantalum Foil/Strip:
Corrosion-Resistant – Resists almost all acids (except HF/hot H₂SO₄).
High-Temperature Stable – Melts at ~3,020°C; ideal for extreme heat.
Biocompatible – Safe for medical implants (e.g., bone repairs).
Flexible & Thin – Rollable to 0.01 mm thickness.
Electrically Functional – Forms stable Ta₂O₅ for capacitors.
