About Metallised films
SUNPRO TM UV Woven Based RADIANT Reinforced FilmMetallised films (or metallized films) are polymer films coated with a thin layer of metal, usually aluminium. They offer the glossy metallic appearance of an aluminium foil at a reduced weight and cost. Metallised films are widely used for decorative purposes and food packaging, and also for speciality applications including insulation and electronics
Metallised films have a reflective silver surface similar to aluminium foil. The coating also reduces the permeability of the film to light, water and oxygen. The properties of the film remain, such as higher toughness, the ability to be heat sealed, and a lower density at a lower cost than analuminium foil. This gives metallised films some advantages over aluminium foil and aluminium foil laminates. It was thought that metallised films would become a replacement for aluminium foil laminates, but current films still cannot match the barrier properties of foil. Some very high barrier metallised films are available using EVOH, but are not yet cost effective against foil laminates.Table 1. Comparison of Metallised PET and aluminium foil
Moisture (g⁄m2.day) | Oxygen (mL⁄m2.day | UV light (%transmittance) | |
---|---|---|---|
PET film 12.7ùm | 31 | 465 | 91 |
Metallised PET | 0.8 | 1.2 | 5 |
Aluminium foil 6ùm | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Both metallised PET and PP have replaced foil laminates for products such as snack foods, coffee and candy, which do not require the superior barrier of aluminium foil. Metallised nylon and polyethylene are used in the meat export market. The controlled permeation extends shelf life. Metallised films are used as a susceptor for cooking in microwave ovens. An example is a microwave popcorn bag.Many food items are also packaged using metallised films for appearance only, as these produce a package with greater sparkle when compared to competing products that use printed paper or polymer films.
