Vacuum metalizing is a process that applies a thin metallic film to products through vapor deposition in a vacuum chamber. The item and chosen metal coating are placed in the chamber, and the metal is heated until it evaporates and coats the item uniformly as it rotates. This technique can metalize many materials like plastic, glass, metal and paper with various metals such as aluminum, copper, gold and more. It is used commonly in automotive, aerospace and medical industries to enhance the appearance and durability of parts.
