Making it Happen

Our films are manufactured at Southwall Technologies' plant at Dresden, Germany, tapping on a complex sputter-metallized, multi-layered dielectric coating process. This process involves the use of the State-of-the-Art Multi-chamber DC Magnetron Sputtering Machine, which cost an investment of USD24million each. With these, multi-layers of metallic coatings of thickness even less than a hairline are embedded onto the world's top 1% grade of optically-clear and durable polyester film.

DC Magnetron Sputtering Machine

Under the watchful eye and accurate control of development engineers, this machine can create complex multi-layer thin coatings of metallic substances, such as silver. In-process monitoring ensures complete adherence to product specifications.

Positively charged ions, attracted by the strong negative voltage of the target material, strike the target with such force that surface atoms of the target material are physically dislodged. The ejected high-energy target atoms bond to the substrate, forming coating layers with precisely controlled properties.
