PET Metallized Film with a 40 nm aluminum layer provides a strong barrier against moisture vapor transmission, gases, and UV radiation, making it suitable for pharmaceutical blister films and retortable food packaging. Its high optical reflectivity is leveraged in solar concentrators, thermal insulation foils, and optical coatings. The film is used in flexible electronic circuits, supercapacitors, and high-performance reflective surfaces. Researchers employ this film in the development of advanced multilayer packaging, flexible OLED displays, and energy-efficient thermal management solutions, contributing to innovations in polymer-based material science and sustainable energy technologies.
