Metallized Mylar (PET) Film Manufacturer
Metallized mylar film is polyester film with a thin layer of aluminium deposited under vacuum. It is the standard reflective film for grow rooms, liners, insulation facings, decorative packaging and light control, and the base of our woven reflective laminates.
Also called aluminised PET, VMPET, metallised polyester film, silver mylar.
Standard metallised constructions
Data sheet TDS 5.9
Metallised PET (VMPET) constructions with no solid foil layer. Lighter and lower cost than foil laminates, with a slightly higher emissivity. Figures are typical values from our data sheet.

Category-level reference values from TDS 5.9. Confirm the exact construction, test method, tolerance and current supporting document in the written quotation. Roll width and format are confirmed per order. Clear, white, black, coloured and holographic PET grades are quoted per order; see the individual grade pages.
Grades
Mirror or matte finish, one or two specified faces, thickness and any additional PET or PE layer are confirmed for the quoted construction.
Typical uses
Grow-room and greenhouse wall lining, reflective liners for tents and enclosures, reflector and lamp components, insulation facings, gift and cosmetic packaging, balloons and decorative laminates.
How to specify
State the thickness in microns, roll width and length, core diameter and the next converting step, such as lamination or printing. Tell us whether one or both sides must be metallised and whether the surface will be embossed. A reference sample helps us confirm the closest quoted construction.
MOQ, lead time and samples
Sold as roll goods and slit to a confirmed width. MOQ, sample availability, lead time and available supporting documents are confirmed for the exact construction in the written quotation.
Frequently asked
What reflectivity does metallized film reach?
Reflectance depends on the film, finish and test method. We provide a figure only when a current report or data sheet identifies the method and the exact quoted construction.
Is it the same as aluminium foil?
No. Metallised PET uses a much thinner metal layer than aluminium foil. Ask us to confirm which roll construction suits your application.
