VACUUM METALLIZING

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
