Process Flow

The Raymond Plastic Nonwoven Metalized Equipment typically involves a multi-stage process, combining nonwoven fabric production (or unwinding of pre-made nonwoven) with vacuum metallization technology.

Nonwoven Unwinding & Pre-treatment

The plastic nonwoven roll is unwound and fed into the system. Depending on the nonwoven type and desired outcome, it may undergo pre-treatment processes such as corona treatment to improve surface energy and adhesion for metallization.

Vacuum Metallization Chamber

The nonwoven web enters a high-vacuum chamber. Inside, a metallic material (typically aluminum) is heated to its evaporation point. The evaporated metal condenses onto the cooler nonwoven surface, forming a thin, uniform metallic layer.

Cooling & Rewinding

After metallization, the metalized nonwoven web is cooled and then precisely rewound onto a finished roll. Tension control and winding quality are critical to prevent damage to the delicate metalized surface.

Quality Control

The finished metalized nonwoven undergoes rigorous quality checks for coating uniformity, adhesion, barrier properties, and visual appearance.

Plastic nonwoven metallization is a surface treatment technology designed to improve the performance and application range of nonwoven fabrics by metallization. The following is a detailed description of plastic nonwoven metallization technology:

I. Overview

Plastic nonwoven metallization refers to the deposition of metals (such as copper, nickel, silver, etc.) on the surface of plastic nonwovens through specific processes, forming a metal plating layer. This technology combines the flexibility of plastic nonwoven fabric with the metal conductivity, corrosion resistance and other properties of nonwoven fabric to achieve a new function and application.

II, Metal plating method

Plastic nonwoven metal plating methods are mainly the following:

1. Chemical plating: also known as electroless plating, is in the absence of applied current, through the principle of redox reaction, the metal ions in the solution is reduced to metal and then deposited on the surface of plastic nonwoven fabric. This method has the advantages of simple process, low cost, energy saving, etc. It is one of the main ways of metal plating on plastic nonwoven fabric.

2. Electroplating: Electroplating requires external current, through electrolysis to make metal ions in the plastic nonwoven surface reduction deposition. Plating layer uniform, dense, but the cost is relatively high, suitable for plating quality requirements of higher occasions.

3. Vacuum sputtering: the use of high-energy particle bombardment of metal targets, so that the metal atoms from the target surface sputtering and deposited on the surface of plastic nonwoven fabric. This method is suitable for plating high melting point metals and alloys, but the equipment is complicated and the cost is high.
