What Is Vacuum Metalizing?
Vacuum Metalizing Services in NY & NJ
Vacuum metalizing is a process that applies a thin layer of metal to plastic parts using a vacuum chamber. Inside the chamber, the metal is vaporized and then condensed onto the surface of the plastic part, creating a smooth, even metallic coating. This process is ideal for adding a sleek, polished finish to products and can also improve properties like electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and durability.
Benefits of Vacuum Metalizing
High-Quality Finishes
Vacuum metalizing gives your plastic parts a premium, reflective finish that mimics the appearance of real metals like chrome, silver, and gold.
Increased Durability
The metalized coating adds a layer of protection to the underlying plastic, improving resistance to wear, corrosion, and environmental damage.
Lightweight Solution
Compared to solid metal parts, vacuum metalized plastic components are much lighter, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is crucial.
Eco-Friendly Process
Unlike traditional metal plating processes, vacuum metalizing is an environmentally friendly option.

Our Vacuum Metalizing Process
1. Surface Preparation
Before the metalizing starts, the plastic parts are thoroughly cleaned and prepped to ensure optimal adhesion.
2. Metalizing
The parts are placed in a vacuum chamber, where metal (such as aluminum) is vaporized and condensed onto the surface of the parts.
3. Top Coat Application
After the metal layer is applied, a protective top coat is often added to enhance durability, scratch resistance, and the overall appearance of the part.
4. Quality Control
Every part undergoes an inspection to ensure that the metalized coating meets our quality standards.
5. Packaging and Delivery
Once the parts pass our quality control checks, they are carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping.
6. Follow Up
After your products are shipped, we follow up to ensure they meet your expectations.
