Introduction to Vacuum Aluminum Plating Process

Vacuum aluminum plating is to heat and melt aluminum metal in a vacuum state until it evaporates, and aluminum atoms condense on the surface of polymer materials to form an extremely thin aluminum layer. Vacuum aluminum plating requires that the substrate surface is smooth, flat, and uniform in thickness; the stiffness and friction coefficient are appropriate; the surface tension is greater than 38dyn/cm'; the thermal performance is good and can withstand the heat radiation and condensation heat of the evaporation source; the moisture content of the substrate is less than 0.1%. Commonly used aluminum-plated substrates include polyester (PET), polypropylene (PP), polyamide (N), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other films. Process requirements: The vacuum degree must not be lower than 10-3Pa to avoid brown stripes or uneven thickness of the aluminum layer; control the system tension, turn on the cooling system to avoid the film from being stretched and deformed by heat; accurately control the winding speed (280-320m/min), aluminum feeding speed (0.4-0.7m/min, 2mm diameter aluminum wire) and evaporation boat heating current to obtain the aluminum layer thickness required by the product (100-300A); a certain amount of primer can be applied to the film in advance and fully dried, and then vacuum aluminum plating can improve the bonding force between the aluminum layer and the film. Then apply a certain amount of protective resin on the aluminum film to prevent the aluminum layer from oxidizing and deteriorating. The aluminum-plated film formed by this process is friction-resistant and not easy to deteriorate.
