- What is Metalized PET Film?
Metalized polyester film, also called metalized PET film, met PET film, or aluminized PET film, is a plastic film that has been treated so that a layer of aluminum particles are put on one side of the film. The amount of aluminum applied allows for various levels of tinting. This aluminized PET film has physical, mechanical, optical, thermal, electrical and chemical properties that make it very well suited for many specialized applications.
