💎 Youveim® High-Purity Titanium Foils & Hydrophilic Titanium Foils

Core Titanium Substrate Solutions for Advanced Electrochemistry and Functional Interface Engineering

In new energy systems, electrochemistry, and advanced materials engineering, the purity, corrosion resistance, and interfacial properties of metallic substrates directly determine system stability, reaction efficiency, and performance limits.

To meet both scientific research and engineering-scale demands, Youveim® offers two complementary titanium material families:

• Youveim® High-Purity Titanium Foils / Sheets / Plates
  Focused on intrinsic material performance

• Youveim® Hydrophilic Titanium Foils / Sheets / Plates

II. Youveim® Hydrophilic Titanium Foils / Sheets / Plates

Functional Interface Engineering for Enhanced Liquid-Solid Interaction

💧 Product Overview

Youveim® hydrophilic titanium foils are developed by applying a non-coating hydrophilic surface modification to high-purity titanium substrates.

Without compromising the titanium’s intrinsic structure, conductivity, or corrosion resistance, this process creates a stable, uniform, and controllable hydrophilic surface, specifically designed for liquid-phase electrochemical environments.

This product line directly addresses common challenges in aqueous and electrolyte-based systems, such as poor wettability, gas bubble adhesion, and uneven liquid distribution.

🌟 Key Functional Advantages

  Rapid liquid spreading and infiltration

• Non-coating modification
  No risk of delamination or peeling during long-term operation

• Preserved intrinsic titanium properties
  Retains corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity

• Optimized for complex fluid and mass-transfer conditions

• Customizable wettability design
  Single-side, double-side, or localized hydrophilic regions

📐 Typical Specifications
