VACUUM METALLIZING

Vacuum Metallizing Equipment

Vacuum metallizing is a decorative and functional coating process that deposits a thin layer of metal alloy—typically aluminum—onto the surface of plastic, glass, or metal parts using high-vacuum technology. The result is a brilliant, reflective finish that can resemble polished or matte silver, gold, bronze, or virtually any custom color.

​

Brilliant and Functional Finishes
This process delivers both visual impact and performance. It’s a cost-effective alternative to traditional metal plating, offering eye-catching finishes for everything from consumer goods to luxury packaging. Beyond aesthetics, vacuum metallizing can be tailored to enhance or suppress electrical conductivity depending on the application.

​

Applications and Industries
Vacuum metallizing is widely used in industries such as:

  • Automotive – trim, lighting reflectors, interior accents

  • Cosmetics & Packaging – premium finishes for bottles, caps, and containers

  • Electronics – EMI/RFI/ESD shielding and conductive coatings

  • Consumer Goods – decorative or functional coatings for appliances and accessories

  • Solar & Energy – vapor barrier protection and reflective coatings for photovoltaic systems
