Composition: PC Form: Metallized Film Material: Polycarbonate (PC) CAS Number: 25766-59-0 Commodity: Polymers Metallized With: Aluminum Thickness: 0.002mm Ohms/Square: 4 Surface Finish: Metallized On One Side
Polycarbonate Film Metallized with Aluminium combines the impact resistance and dimensional stability of polycarbonate with a thin, uniform aluminum coating that enhances reflectivity, electromagnetic shielding, and thermal control. The metallisation layer provides conductive and reflective properties while maintaining the base film’s toughness and flexibility. Cut-to-size sheets are used in precision optical reflectors, EMI shielding panels, and decorative architectural elements requiring mechanical durability. Applications include light management in optical instruments, RF shielding in sensitive electronics, and thermally reflective barriers in aerospace assemblies. Research applications include studying reflective film behavior under thermal cycling, hybrid material development for spacecraft insulation, and electromagnetic interference suppression materials. The synergy of polycarbonate’s resilience with aluminum’s functional surface properties ensures reliable performance in advanced engineering contexts.
