What is metalized paper?



Metalized paper is paper that has been coated with a thin layer of metal, typically aluminum. This gives the paper a metallic appearance and can make it more durable and resistant to tearing and water. Metalized paper is often used for packaging and decorative purposes, and can also be used in printing applications where a metallic finish is desired.



Structure of the metalized paper



The metal layer of metalized paper is applied using a process called vacuum deposition, in which the metal is vaporized and then deposited onto the surface of the paper.


The structure of the metalized paper is similar to that of regular paper, but with a thin layer of metal applied to one or both sides. The metal layer is typically applied in a thin, uniform layer and is strongly bonded to the surface of the paper.


It is known for its reflective properties, which make it useful for adding a metallic finish to products or for creating eye-catching packaging designs. It is also resistant to water and moisture, making it a good choice for use in packaging applications where the contents need to be protected from the environment.

How to reduce friction on the metalized paper surface?



Lubricate the surface


You can use a lubricant such as oil, silicone, or wax to reduce friction on the metalized paper surface.


Use a low-friction coating


You can apply a coating such as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) or other low-friction materials to the metalized paper surface to reduce friction.


Use a release agent


A release agent such as a mold release spray can be applied to the metalized paper surface to reduce friction.


Increase the surface roughness


Increasing the roughness of the surface can increase the number of contact points between the paper and the object sliding on it, which can reduce friction.


Use a higher-grade paper


Using higher-grade paper with a smoother surface can also help to reduce friction on the metalized paper surface.


I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
