Hydrophilic aluminum foil is obtained by coating the surface of aluminum foil with hydrophilic coating, the purpose is to improve the hydrophilic (water-attracting) performance of the aluminum foil, and it has higher heat transfer efficiency and corrosion resistance.
Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil is a specialized type of aluminum foil that has undergone a surface treatment to enhance its hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties.
Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil is commonly used in various applications where efficient heat transfer and moisture management are required. The hydrophilic coating applied to the foil’s surface allows it to rapidly and uniformly distribute condensation or liquid, facilitating better heat exchange in heat exchangers, air conditioning systems, and radiators.

The hydrophilic coating on the aluminum foil promotes improved moisture absorption and increases the surface area, resulting in enhanced heat transfer efficiency. This allows for better cooling and heat dissipation, making it ideal for heat exchangers, air conditioning systems, and refrigeration units.
Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for applications in humid and corrosive environments. This resistance ensures the durability and longevity of the foil, even in challenging conditions, thereby reducing maintenance needs and extending the lifespan of equipment.
By facilitating efficient heat exchange, Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil helps optimize energy usage. It allows systems to cool more effectively, reducing the energy consumption required for maintaining desired temperatures. This can lead to energy savings and cost reduction in long-term operations.
Aluminum is a recyclable material, and the hydrophilic foil can be recycled after use, contributing to sustainable practices and reducing environmental impact. Choosing Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil aligns with eco-friendly initiatives and supports a circular economy.
The production process of hydrophilic aluminum foil is basically the same as that of aluminum foil, except that 3 processes are added in the middle;

Dry Environment: Store hydrophilic aluminum foil in a dry environment with low humidity levels. Moisture can affect the hydrophilic properties of the foil and lead to degradation.
Temperature Control: Maintain a stable temperature for the storage area. Extreme temperatures can impact the structural integrity and performance of the foil.
Protection from Contaminants: Keep the hydrophilic foil away from dust, dirt, and other contaminants that could potentially affect its surface or hydrophilic coating.
Hydrophilic Aluminum Foil Storage
Ordinary aluminum foil cannot meet the requirements of energy saving, environmental protection, corrosion resistance, and antibacterial for air conditioners. Hydrophilic aluminum foil has strong hydrophilicity. The water droplets condensed on the heat sink are easy to spread and flow down the heat sink to avoid low ventilation effect.
The surface of the hydrophilic aluminum foil is covered with a hydrophilic layer, and the condensed water will spread rapidly on the hydrophilic aluminum foil without condensing into water droplets, which increases the heat transfer area, speeds up the cooling and heating speed, and effectively avoids the noise caused by air flow.
