SUPERIOR QUALITY METALLIZED FILMS

Product Description
metallised films(or metalized films) are polymer films coated with a thin layer of metal, usuallyaluminium. They offer the glossy metallic appearance of analuminium foilat a reduced weight and cost. metallised films are widely used for decorative purposes and foodpackaging, and also for specialty applications including insulation and electronics.Uses
Decoration
metallised films were first used for decorative purposes as Christmas tinsel,and continue to be used for items such as wrappers and ribbons. The metallic helium filled novelty balloons given as gifts are made of metallisedBoPETand often called Mylar balloons commercially.
Packaging
Both metallised PET and PP have replaced foil laminates for products such as snack foods, coffee and candy, which do not require the superior barrier of aluminium foil. metallised nylon and polyethylene are used in the meat export market. The controlledpermeationextendsshelf life.
metallised films are used as asusceptorfor cooking inmicrowave ovens.An example is amicrowave popcorn bag.
Many food items are also packaged using metallised films for appearance only, as these produce a package with greater sparkle when compared to competing products that use printed paper or polymer films.
Insulation
metallised PET films are used in NASA spacesuits to reflect heat radiation, keeping astronauts warm, and in ″proximity suits″ used by firefighters for protection from the high amount of heat released from fuel fires. Aluminized emergency blankets are also used to conserve a shock victim's body heat. MPET has been used as an antistatic container for other heat and sound insulating materials used in aircraft, to prevent the insulation from leaking into the passenger cabin, but is not itself the insulator in that use.
Electronics
metallised films are used as a dielectric in the manufacture of a type ofcapacitorused in electronic circuits,and as a material in some types ofantistatic bags.CATEGORY
