Construction
ReflecTech® mirror film uses pure silver to provide high specular reflectance and multiple layers of polymer films to protect against ultraviolet (UV) radiation and moisture.
ReflecTech® Mirror Film has a pressure sensitive adhesive for application to smooth surfaces. A peel-off release liner covers the adhesive until application, and a peel-off mask protects the mirror surface during processing and installation.
Application
ReflecTech® film is applied to a structural substrate such as aluminum sheet by a pressure (roll) laminator (watch lamination video). Aluminum edge tape must be used to seal all edges and seams of the laminated reflector. Details are available in the User Guide.
