METALLIZING HIGH MOISTURE MATERIALS: industrial experience of paper and paperboard vacuum coating

摘要

Direct paper metallization is not a new process : the annual global production has been always growing, although at somehow moderate pace, in the last decade : according to a recent market study from AWA ("Vacuum Coated & Metallized Products Markets Global Review 2012), it represents 23% of the total metallized material, which exceeded, in 2011, one million Ton. Therefore, paper metallization establishes itself as a very important sector of the vacuum coating industry.
