Metallized paper refers to paper products that have been coated or laminated with a thin layer of metal, typically aluminum. This process results in a paper product that has improved properties such as increased durability, water resistance, and aesthetic appeal.
The metallization process involves several steps. First, the paper is coated with a layer of adhesive material, typically a resin or polyethylene. This layer acts as a bonding agent between the paper and the metal layer. The metal layer is then applied to the paper through a vacuum deposition process. During this process, aluminum is heated until it becomes vaporized and is then deposited onto the paper surface. The metal layer is typically only a few microns thick, but it is enough to provide the desired properties.
