Metalized Film for Functional Enhancement

Adding a layer of aluminum or copper to film substrates has multiple functional benefits. Adding a layer of aluminum or copper to film substrates has multiple functional benefits. The functional benefits of metallized film include:

  • Electrically conductive
  • Low absorptance and emittance properties for thermal management applications
  • Oxygen & moisture barrier

Common applications that utilize metallize films include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Reflective insulation for construction applications
  • Satellite thermal management (multi layer insulation films)
  • Flexible packaging
  • Blackout window treatment

These are just a few examples of how our partners use metalized films to achieve the critical performance characteristics for their end-product.

Both our aluminum coated film and copper coated film option are a great choice as an electrically conductive film. Our standard electrically conductive film options consist of a metal layer deposited on a PET film. The conductivity properties of our electrically conductive films are the following:

  • Aluminum coated PET film: 1.80 Ω / sq
  • Copper coated PET film: 0.80 Ω / sq
