Special Applications & Emerging Fields for Metal Foils
Functional & Decorative Solutions with Tin and Lead Foils
Beyond established industries like medical technology, electronics, and photovoltaics, EppsteinFOILS' metal foils are used in a wide range of specialized and emerging applications. The unique properties of our tin foils, lead foils, and composite materials - including their excellent formability, conductivity, barrier performance, and visual quality - make them ideal for new technological concepts, aesthetic design, and niche applications.
Tin Foil for Decorative Applications and Restoration
Thanks to their soft and ductile structure, good formability, and appealing metallic appearance, our tin-based foils are perfectly suited for decorative purposes. They are widely used in restoration, interior architecture, and object design - for example:
- Reconstruction of historical mirrors or metal surfaces
- Renovation of organ pipes with glossy tin foils
- Wall and ceiling coverings in prestigious interiors
- Decorative finishes for artworks, furniture, or book covers
Tin can be easily punched, embossed, laminated, and coated - opening up creative possibilities for high-end design solutions with authentic metal aesthetics.
Lead Foil for Innovative Battery Technologies
Lead foil has long played a key role in battery production - and is gaining renewed importance in modern energy storage systems, power tools, and mobile backup solutions. EppsteinFOILS offers rolled and cast lead foils precisely tailored to the requirements of next-generation high-performance batteries.
Our metallurgical expertise enables precise control over alloy composition, crystal structure, and material properties - critical for the performance, cycle stability, and thermal resistance of modern battery cells used in:
- Vehicles (e.g. start-stop systems)
- High-load power tools
- Backup systems for servers and IT infrastructure
