Vacuum metallization
Design objective
Vacuum metallization makes it possible to reproduce the appearance of any metal or to give colored coatings a metallic look on items made of plastic, metal or glass.
Production method
Vacuum metallization is a multi-layer coating consisting of a deposit of aluminum between two applications of varnish.
The aluminum deposit is done in a vacuum, in plants specially designed for this purpose. The base and finish varnishes are applied via spraying on the varnishing line.
They may be thermally polymerized (“PU” varnish”) or UV hardened (“UV” varnish).
Production runs
Vacuum metallization is particularly well suited to small and medium-size production runs from 500 to 100,000 units.
Item sizes
From 100 to 200 ml sales models to homothetic samples or drawn glass tubes, vacuum metallization is suitable for all the models of a product line regardless of the manufacture or the manufacturing technique.
It also allows the coating of larger size bottles of all types.
