Metalized Polyester Films (8 Micron to 18 Micron)

Metallized polyester film is a thin, flexible film that has been coated with a layer of metal, usually aluminum. The metal layer gives the film a glossy, metallic appearance and also provides a number of functional properties, such as:

• Increased strength and durability
• Improved moisture and oxygen barrier properties
• Electrical conductivity

Metallized polyester film is used in a wide variety of applications, including:

• Printing: Metallized polyester film is often used as a substrate for printing, as it provides a smooth, durable surface that is resistant to ink bleeding.
• Lamination: Metallized polyester film can be used to laminate other materials, such as paper, plastic, and fabric. This provides a strong, durable bond that is also resistant to moisture and oxygen.
• Decoration: Metallized polyester film can be used to decorate a variety of objects, such as furniture, appliances, and vehicles. It provides a stylish, modern look that is also durable and easy to care for.
• Paper-plates lamination: Metallized polyester film can be used to laminate paper plates, making them more durable and water-resistant. This is a popular choice for foodservice businesses, as it helps to reduce the number of paper plates that need to be replaced.

Metallized polyester film is available in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from 8 micron to 18 micron. The thickness of the film will affect its strength, durability, and barrier properties. For example, a thicker film will be more durable and have better barrier properties than a thinner film.

When choosing a metallized polyester film for a specific application, it is important to consider the following factors:

• The desired appearance: Metallized polyester film is available in a variety of finishes, including silver, gold, and copper. The desired finish will depend on the application.
• The required strength and durability: The thickness of the film will affect its strength and durability. A thicker film will be more durable and have better barrier properties than a thinner film.
• The required barrier properties: Metallized polyester film provides a barrier to moisture and oxygen. The thickness of the film will affect its barrier properties. A thicker film will have better barrier properties than a thinner film.
• The cost: Metallized polyester film is available in a range of prices. The cost will depend on the thickness of the film, the finish, and the supplier.

Metallized polyester film is a versatile material that can be used in a wide variety of applications. By considering the factors listed above, you can choose the right film for your specific needs.
