Aluminum Alloy 8011 Aluminum Foil for Cable Wrapping I Thickness 0.015-0.05 mm I Customized Width I PE Coated

Introduction                                                

The 0.015–0.05 mm 8011 PE coated aluminum foil is the cost-effective high-performance standard for electromagnetic interference (EMI) & radio-frequency interference (RFI) shielding, moisture barrier and wrapping in power cables, telecom/data cables, coaxial, instrumentation and fiber optic cables.

Compared to 1235 (softer, lower strength) or 8079 (similar but higher cost in some markets), 8011 offers:

Higher tensile strength & tear resistance in ultra-thin gauges

Better adhesion for PE coating & composite lamination

Low pinhole rate (≤20–30 pcs/m² at 30 μm)

Excellent flexibility for longitudinal & helical wrapping on high-speed lines

Coating system:High-barrier PE (polyethylene) coating, 10–20 μm thickness,Optional anti-oxidation primer + conductive topcoat,Double-side coating available (one side barrier, one side heat-seal),Barrier performance: WVTR < 0.001 g/m²·24 h, OTR < 0.01 cc/m²·24 h,Warranty: 30+ years zero oxidation & barrier integrity in cable applications

FAQ (USA/Europe/Middle East/Asia Buyers)

Q1: Why choose 8011 over 1235 or 8079 for cable shielding foil?

A: 8011 offers higher tensile strength & tear resistance in ultra-thin gauges (better for high-speed wrapping), superior PE coating adhesion, and comparable or better corrosion performance than 1235 (softer) or 8079 (similar but higher cost in some markets). It is widely preferred for power & telecom cables.

Q2: What is the typical EMI/RFI shielding effectiveness & how is it measured?

A: 60–100 dB attenuation @ 1–6 GHz (depending on cable design & foil thickness). We provide shielding effectiveness test reports per ASTM D4935 or MIL-STD-461 standards.

Q3: Can you provide salt-spray & humidity test reports for marine/offshore cables?

A: Yes — 5000 h neutral + acetic salt spray (ISO 9227/ASTM B117) passed, 85 °C high-humidity aging test passed. Full reports & coastal/offshore exposure data available.

Q4: Minimum order quantity & lead time for custom PE coating thickness or color?

A: MOQ 3–5 tons (depending on specification); standard PE coating 15–25 days; custom thickness/color 25–35 days. Sample coils free with freight collect.

Q5: How does 8011 foil perform in extreme marine / offshore cable applications?

A: Excellent — PE coated 8011 passes 5000 h+ salt-spray & high-humidity tests; no oxidation or barrier loss. Offshore & submarine cable exposure data available.

Q6: Is 8011 suitable for high-speed longitudinal & helical wrapping without breakage?

A: Yes — high elongation & uniform thickness ensure stability at 1000 m/min. We provide trial coils & slitting/wrapping recommendations for your line.
