Pre-coat Polyester Fabric: Promising PVD Aluminum Finish

Summary for pre-coat polyester fabric Discussion

pre-coat polyester fabric for pvd aluminum coating is the core question here: Ronny Adrin of Delfgauw, Zuid-Holland asks whether a high-gloss or reactive pre-coat exists that can smooth flexible polyester fabric enough to produce a mirror-like aluminum finish for solar-reflective window treatment use. The excerpt does not include technical answers yet, so there is no consensus solution to summarize from the thread. The only guidance shown is the editor’s note that the RFQ is outdated, that technical replies are still welcome, and that readers may post their own RFQs, but public commercial suggestions are not allowed. In other words, the page is currently a request for help and consulting interest rather than a resolved technical discussion.

Q. I’m looking to increase the brilliance of the aluminum coating on my polyester fabric which is used for solar reflection in the window treatment industry.

Is there a high gloss or reactive pre-coat for polyester fabrics which smoothes the surface and as a result show a mirror like aluminum coating?
Bear in mind the substrate has to remain flexible.

Looking for some help or a consultant who is interested in joining the development.
