According to the study “Asia Brass Foils Industry Situation and
Prospects Research report”, brass foil is a thin, pliable
material, which can be used in many different industries due to its mouldable,
yet durable properties. It can be used for tooling, storage and packaging
applications. Brass foil is reddish brown colour that encourages more unique
uses such as in musical instruments, arts and crafts, and architecture and
electrical engineering sector. These foils can be folded and rolled into finely
cut strips, which make them valuable contributors to the engineering and
aerospace sectors. 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. Brass
foil is very cheap compared to other engineering equipment and can be more
economical to replace shim foil rather than any other stronger industrial
equipment.
Brass is a metal alloy consisting of
copper and zinc. To obtain certain properties of brass, proportion of copper
and zinc are varied. Brass is usually used for decoration purposes, as it is
bright gold-like in appearance, used in machines, where low friction is
required, as locks, gears, valves, bearings, ship parts, few appliance parts,
doorknobs, and some other products. Brass is non-flammable as it is not a
ferromagnetic substance and it can be collected quickly from a mixture of many
metals. Brass materials when gets worn out can be recycled. Brass foils have exceptional corrosion resistance properties and maintain substantial electrical and thermal conductive properties due to its copper base. It was observed that there is a huge
demand for brass foils that are used in the manufacture of low friction light
weight materials and high strength precision instruments. This metal possesses
greater wear resistance, light in weight, high conductivity, corrosion
resistance and high mechanical strength. It is used in the manufacture of
electric and electronic components due to their high conductivity, corrosion
resistance, excellent cutting and drilling performance compared to other metals.
Various brass foil types available in Asian
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 Asian brass foil industry are increasingly focusing on
creating strong brand names, offering well-established products, and exhibit
long-term reliability. The vendors are increasingly competing against each
other based on factors such as price, features, and product quality. The
leading vendors in Asia’s brass foils industry are Arcotech, Rajshree Metals,
Global Metals, Olin Brass, A.J. Oster, Grand Metal Corporation, Ekaton, and
AMCO Metall-Service. Geographically, Asian brass foils industry is spread
across China, Japan, India, Korea, Saudi Arabia and other regions.
The application of brass foils in the
manufacture of various instruments is estimated to increase significantly due
to the growing need to reduce friction and prevent spoilage. Anti-corrosion property
coupled with relatively high durability compared to iron, has boosted the
demand for brass foils over the past few years. Asia 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 Asian markets.
