Platinum Foil Capabilities

One of the few manufacturers in Europe who can manufacture platinum foils to bespoke thicknesses.

Cookson Industrial is one of a limited number of manufacturers in Europe with the specialist expertise and capability to produce ultra-thin platinum foil, supporting demanding applications where material purity, consistency and precision are critical.

Platinum presents significant manufacturing challenges when rolled to extremely thin gauges. Drawing on decades of precious metal manufacturing and metallurgical expertise, we can process platinum into precision foil while maintaining tight control over thickness, surface quality and material properties.

Our platinum foil supports specialist applications across hydrogen and fuel cell technology, electrochemistry, laboratory research, medical devices, sensors, electronics, aerospace, catalysis and advanced R&D. Its exceptional corrosion resistance, chemical stability, high-temperature performance and catalytic properties make platinum particularly valuable in environments where conventional materials cannot perform.

Alongside fine platinum, our wider precious metal expertise allows us to work with customers on specialist alloys, dimensions and manufacturing requirements, helping establish the most appropriate material and production route for their application.

From small quantities for research and development through to ongoing industrial requirements, Cookson Industrial provides access to a highly specialised platinum manufacturing capability from the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter.
