Brass is a metallic alloy of copper and zinc with attractive properties. To obtain certain properties of brass, proportions of copper and zinc are varied during manufacturing process. Brass is extensively used for decoration purposes due to its bright gold-like in appearance, used in manufacturing machines with low friction, locks, gears, valves, bearings, ship parts, appliance parts, doorknobs, and few other products. Brass is a non-flammable material, is not a ferromagnetic substance and it can be collected easily from a mixture of many metals. When life span of brass materials ends, it can be recycled. All the brass foils possess properties such as exceptional corrosion resistance; maintain substantial electrical and thermal conductive properties due to its alloy copper metal. Europe is experiencing huge demand for brass foils that can be used in the manufacture of low friction light weight materials and high strength precision instruments. Brass foils possesses greater wear resistance, light in weight, high conductivity, corrosion resistance and high mechanical strength. They are used in the manufacture of electric and electronic components due to their properties such as high conductivity, corrosion resistance, excellent cutting and drilling performance compared to other metals.
According to the study “Europe Brass Foils Industry Situation and Prospects Research report”, brass foil is usually a thin, pliable material, which is used in various industries due to its mouldable, yet durable properties. It can be used in the manufacture of tools, storage and packaging applications. The brass foil is reddish brown colour that encourages more unique applications such as in musical instruments, arts and crafts, and architecture and electrical engineering sector. Brass foils can be folded and rolled into finely cut strips, which can be used in engineering and aerospace sectors effectively. Brass foil is used to fill space between two components similar to the purpose of a shim, particularly within machinery to avoid wear and tear on engineered components, and improve the lifespan of the mechanism. The available brass foil in Europe is very cheap compared to other engineering equipment and can be more economical to replace shim foil rather than any other stronger industrial equipment.
Various brass foil types available in European market are Oxygen-Free High Conductivity Copper (OFHC), Electrolytic Tough Pitch (ETP) Copper, Deoxidized High Phosphorous (DHP) Copper, and Deoxidized Low Phosphorous (DLP) Copper. Brass foils are used in various industrial applications such as electrical & electronics, automotives, construction, industrial machinery, and other industries. All the leading vendors in European brass foil industry are increasingly focusing on creating strong brand names, offering well-established products, and exhibit long-term reliable products. The leading vendors in Europe’s brass foils industry are Arcotech, Rajshree Metals, Global Metals, Olin Brass, A.J. Oster, Grand Metal Corporation, Ekaton, and AMCO Metall-Service. Geographically, European brass foils industry is spread across Germany, Russia, UK, France, Italy and other regions.
Brass foils market in Europe is estimated to increase significantly due to the growing need for reduce friction and prevent spoilage in the manufacture of various products. Anti-corrosion property coupled with relatively high durability has boosted the demand for brass foils in Europe over the past few years. Europe accounts for a largest share in the brass foils industry due to enhanced living standards and demand for durable products. The increasing consumption of brass foils for various applications is encouraging the market towards expansion in various sectors attracting huge recognition and this trend will continue over the next few years in European markets.
