What are the benefits of Vacuum Metallizing
The benefits of vacuum metallizing make it a popular choice for a wide range of applications across industries. Key advantages of vacuum metallized surfaces are the Superior Aesthetics, Lightweight and Thin Coatings, Durability and Performance, Versatility Across Substrates, Environment Friendly Coating, Cost-Effective, Customizable for Specific Needs, High Reflectivity and Scalability.
Can vacuum metallizing be applied to any type of material?
Vacuum metallizing can be applied to many types of materials, including plastics, glass, ceramics, composites, and metals, but not all metal materials are equally suited for the process.
What types of plastics do you use in the coating process?
Vacuum metallizing works best with plastics that have stable thermal properties, smooth surfaces, and good adhesion characteristics. For challenging plastics like polypropylene or polyethylene, primers are often essential. The choice depends on the application and desired performance of the final product. We can use components made of ABS, PP, PC, Nylon, Acrylic, etc.
Is the coating resistant to heat and UV exposure?
Vacuum metallizing, in itself, provides a thin metallic layer that has some resistance to heat and UV exposure, but its durability under these conditions largely depends on the substrate, coating material, and protective layers applied during the process.
Do you offer vacuum metalising services in my area?
Yes, we provide vacuum metalising services for clients across India and work with brands in automotive, electronics, and consumer product sectors. Whether you're looking for metal plastic coating on small parts or bulk production, we offer pan-India service and fast turnaround. Reach out to check availability and shipping support in your location.
Is vacuum metalising suitable for plastic parts?
Absolutely. Vacuum metalising is widely used for giving plastic components a metallic finish without adding weight. It’s ideal for ABS, PC, PP, and other engineering plastics. This process creates a durable, reflective surface that mimics chrome or brushed metal—making it perfect for automotive trims, cosmetic packaging, and electronic housings that require metal plastic coating without actual metal.
Can I customize the color and texture of the metallic finish?
Yes, with vacuum metalising, you can customize both the color and texture of the finish. The base coat and topcoat used in the process allow us to create chrome, gold, copper, or tinted finishes, along with matte, satin, or high-gloss effects. This flexibility makes it easy to match your brand aesthetics or create premium-looking product variants.
