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
