4.5 Micron Silver Metallized BOPET
4.5 Micron Silver Metallized BOPET Film, this material represents the high-performance intersection of ultra-thin gauge technology and advanced vacuum deposition. At 4.5 microns, it offers a high yield per kilogram, making it exceptionally cost-effective for large-scale industrial applications.
1. Enhanced Barrier Performance
While the base BOPET provides structural integrity, the vacuum-deposited aluminum layer (typically Ångströms thick) creates a "tortuous path" for molecules.
- Light Barrier: 100% opacity in the UV and visible spectrum, preventing degradation of light-sensitive contents.
- Moisture & Oxygen: Significantly lowers the WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate) and OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) compared to plain film.
2. Advanced Surface Characteristics
- Reflectivity: High specular reflection (mirror-finish) for premium aesthetics and thermal insulation (radiant heat reflection).
- Surface Tension: Treated to maintain high dyne levels (typically dynes/cm), ensuring that inks and lamination adhesives bond permanently to the metal side.
- Metal Adhesion: Engineered to prevent "metal pick-off" during high-speed rewinding or subsequent lamination.
Key Application Breakdown
Processing & Handling Recommendations
- Tension Control: Due to the 4.5um thickness, precise tension control is mandatory. We recommend ultrasonic sensors and low-inertia rollers to prevent stretching or "web-breaks."
- Static Management: Metallized films can generate significant static; the use of active ionizer bars during slitting is highly recommended.
- Storage: Should be stored in a climate-controlled environment (°C, humidity) to prevent "oxidation" of the aluminum layer, which can dull the silver luster over time.
Quality Standards
Our 4.5 micron film is tested for:
- Optical Density (OD): Measured to ensure consistent aluminum thickness across the web.
- Pinholes: Rigorous inspection to ensure barrier integrity.
- Coefficient of Friction (COF): Optimized for "Excellent Machinability" on high-speed VFFS (Vertical Form Fill Seal) machines.
- 4.5 Microns BOPET Film silver metallized, Bopet polyester metallized film has a super reflective, mirror- like surface. It is a oriented polyester film with a very
- thin coating of aluminum that is vacuum deposited on to the surface of the film. This film is used in a variety of
- industrial and applications, including printing, packaging, crafts and many other applications.
