Vacuum Metallization on Plastic Parts

Vacuum metallization is a highly versatile and widely-used surface coating process that involves the application of a thin layer of metal onto a substrate. The substrate can be made of various plastics materials, such as ABS, polycarbonate. The process is performed within a vacuum chamber, where the metal is heated and vaporized. The vaporized metal then condenses and adheres to the surface of the target material, creating a uniform, reflective, and metallic finish.

Description

Advantages of Powder Coating:

  • Enhanced Aesthetics : One of the primary benefits of vacuum metallization is its ability to provide a shiny, reflective, and metallic appearance to substrates.
  • Improved Reflectivity : The thin metal coating applied through vacuum metallization significantly enhances the reflectivity of the coated surface.
  • Barrier Properties : Vacuum metallization can create an effective barrier against moisture, gases, and other environmental factors.
  • Lightweight : Vacuum metallization creates a thin metal layer, which adds very little weight to the substrate. This is especially advantageous in industries where weight is a critical factor, such as automotive and aerospace.
  • Uniform Coating : Vacuum metallization provides a highly uniform and consistent metal layer on the substrate.
  • High Adhesion : The metal layer created through vacuum metallization exhibits excellent adhesion to the substrate material.

 

Application:

The vacuum metallization process finds applications in various industries, including:

  • Automotive : Emblems, interior trims, and lighting components.
  • Electronics : Reflectors, Touch panels, Fan, Refrigerator, AC, TV decorative parts.
  • Decorative : Household items, toys, and fashion accessories to provide a metallic finish.
  • Lighting : Vacuum metallization is employed in the lighting industry for producing reflective coatings on bulbs, lamps, and other lighting components. The enhanced reflectivity improves the efficiency of light output.
