Metalon© Films and Laminate Products

Metalon laminates combine a thin (12-micron) high clarity polyester film, usually metallised on the inside surface, with a backing substrate, typically a rigid or flexible PVC.

The metallising is generally aluminium, which is vacuum-deposited onto the polyester film surface; although other metals, such as Chromium, can also be applied.

Metalon laminates are strong and durable.

Metalon is easy to process and may be bonded with adhesive, sewn, or even high-frequency welded.

Laminates may be embossed with patterns, supplied with additional coatings to facilitate printing, ‘hard coated’, or premasked to protect the surface from scratches or dirt during intermediate manufacturing operations.

With such versatility, Metalon is suited to many applications ranging from decorative effects, P.O.S., interior design, footwear and fashion, to more functional applications such as lighting, automotive trim, product wrapping, furniture trim, photography and labels.

We offer colours such as;

Silver Polish, Gold Polish, Matte Silver, Matte Gold and Silver Weatherable.

Copper Polish, Pewter Polish, Zinc Polish, Black Polish and Smoke Polish are tailored to order.

Films

Metalon© films generally consist of a 12µm polyester film metallised on one side with a layer of vacuum deposited aluminium. The base film may be dyed, or have a textured surface effect such as matt, or brushed (hairline). The metallising can be coated with a heat seal adhesive for subsequent lamination to paper, PVC, HIPS or ABS.

The film is supplied at a maximum width of 1460mm and if coated the maximum coated width is 1445mm. The film can be trimmed to width and in typical lengths of 100 – 3,000m, flush wound on a 76, or 152mm id core (depending on reel length).

Roll Form

Roll form laminates consist of a metallised polyester laminated to a base polymer film, usually PVC or polythene, as described in the table below:

Mirror Sheet Laminates

Chamberlain Plastics International Limited are able to laminate metallised polyester to both sides of 600mm wide PETg sheets to give a mirror finish. Each laminated face is protected by a disposable polythene film and can be guillotined to size. Minimum cut size is 25 x 75mm and maximum is 580 x 920mm.
