Advanced Copper Foil (ACF) to Display Full Line of Circuit Foil Copper Foils at IPC APEX 2016
March 8, 2016 | Advanced Copper FoilEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Having signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Circuit Foil Luxemburg in 2015, ACF is now fully ready to provide value-added copper foil products to all regions of the United States and Canada.
ACF welcomes customers and will be exhibiting its full line of Circuit Foil Copper Foils and Aluminum Supported Copper Foils at the IPC/APEX Show in Las Vegas March 15-17, Booth 447.
Foils for the PCB Manufacturer
On display will be standard shiny foils, high bond/Polyimide foil, low loss, ultra-low loss and HVLP foils. There will be a complete display of LP, VLP, HVLP and foils with “Almost No Profile” (Rz ≤ 1.3um). ACF also offers a host of specialty foils for PTFE, Flexible Circuits, ultra-thin foils (≤ 2um) and foils specially designed for High Speed Low Loss Laminates.
Copper Foil with Aluminum Carrier
See both the AFC2, Single-sided Aluminum, and the ACF3, Double-sided Copper Aluminum Copper layers. Manufactured in a clean-room, the ACF family of products guarantee a pristine copper surface, free of debris and other foreign materials. These products also protect the copper surface from epoxy spots and finger prints during the Multilayer Layup process. The unique process, established with complete cleanliness in mind, does not require aluminum shearing during the manufacturing process as others products do. This in conjunction with our unique tooling and proprietary panel cleaning processes allows ACF to guarantee our customers the highest quality panels without the concern of aluminum particles or other foreign materials, with any tooling configuration required.
Special Shielding and Battery Foils
Complete line of foils for industrial markets such as battery and shielding, as well as our foils for PCB application.
About ACF
Advanced Copper Foil is a company dedicated to High Performance Copper Foils and their applications in the Printed Circuit and Battery Shielding Industries. ACF2 and ACF3 aluminum supported foils are products that facilitate the PCB layup process, improve efficiencies and provide a carrier for ultra-thin foils. We are committed to providing PCB Fabricators, Laminate Manufacturers and Battery Shielding Companies with a cost-effective alternative to the traditional products on the market today.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
Trouble in Your Tank: Causes of Plating Voids, Pre-electroless Copper
05/09/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankIn the business of printed circuit fabrication, yield-reducing and costly defects can easily catch even the most seasoned engineers and production personnel off guard.

Elephantech: For a Greener Tomorrow
04/16/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineNobuhiko Okamoto is the global sales and marketing manager for Elephantech Inc., a Japanese startup with a vision to make electronics more sustainable. The company is developing a metal inkjet technology that can print directly on the substrate and then give it a copper thickness by plating. In this interview, he discusses this novel technology's environmental advantages, as well as its potential benefits for the PCB manufacturing and semiconductor packaging segments.
Trouble in Your Tank: Organic Addition Agents in Electrolytic Copper Plating
04/15/2025 | Michael Carano -- Column: Trouble in Your TankThere are numerous factors at play in the science of electroplating or, as most often called, electrolytic plating. One critical element is the use of organic addition agents and their role in copper plating. The function and use of these chemical compounds will be explored in more detail.
