Composition: CA Form: Metallized Film Material: Cellulose acetate (CA) CAS Number: 9004-35-7 Commodity: Polymers Metallized With: Aluminum Thickness: 0.05mm Ohms/Square: 0.2 Surface Finish: Metallized On One Side
Cellulose Acetate Disk Metallized with Aluminum combines the optical clarity, dimensional stability, and low moisture absorption of cellulose acetate with a precision-deposited aluminum layer, producing a composite disk with enhanced reflectivity, barrier performance, and electromagnetic shielding capabilities. The metallized surface significantly improves light-blocking, thermal reflection, and corrosion resistance while retaining the machinability and low weight of the polymer substrate. This makes it highly valuable in optics, electronics, and protective coatings industries, where uniform surface quality is critical. Specific applications include reflective optical components, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding elements in precision instruments, and corrosion-resistant surfaces for specialized sensor housings. In research, these disks support studies in thin-film adhesion, multilayer optical stack behavior, and polymer–metal interface engineering. The combination of controlled polymer morphology with functional metallic coatings ensures it remains a key material for advancing both high-performance industrial products and experimental surface science.
