Definitions

• This invention relates to the metallization of support members and, more particularly, to the metallization of cellulosic support members such as paper.
• Metallization is a process in which a metallic material such as aluminum, is applied to an underlying support mem ⁇ ber. This can be done by bonding a thin film of metallic foil to the surface of the support member. The bonding takes place using a suitable adhesive and the resulting pro- duct is a laminate of the support material and the foil.
• metal is vaporized in a high vacuum using resistance, induction or an electron beam and forms a metallic layer on a support member. This procedure is suitable only for support members that do not contain signi- ficant amounts of moisture.
• the vacuum draws vapors and other by-products which must be eliminated before subsequent metallizing can take place. Irregularities in the support surface also appear in the final product.
• the pap ⁇ er is first dried to a level where there will be negligible outgassing. This, procedure, however, makes the support material brittle and difficult to process. Additionally, once the vacuum metallization of the dried paper is com ⁇ pleted, it is necessary to restore its moisture level to near its original value.
• a related object is to facilitate the metallization of support members with irregu ⁇ lar surfaces.
• Another related object is to achieve suit- able metallization of support members that exhibit outgass ⁇ ing when subjected to a vacuum.
• OMPI Another object of the invention is to achieve suitable smoothness and reflectivity for metallized support surfaces.
• Still another object of the invention is to achieve efficient and high speed metallization of support members. Still other objects of the invention are to overcome the disadvantages associated with metallization by foil lamination and metallization by vacuum.
• Another object is to achieve the desired metallization without requiring that metallic powder be dispersed in an adhesive which must be allowed to cure.
• Still another object of the invention is to increase the efficiency of metallization over and above that which can be achieved by a process which requires curing.
• a further object of the invention is to increase the efficiency with which the metal used in metallization con- tributes to the reflectivity of light from a metallized surface.
• a related object is to avoid the loss of re ⁇ flectivity by metallic elements such as powder which becomes embedded below the surface where the reflectiv- ity takes place.
• Another object is to metallize a plurality of sup ⁇ port sheets simultaneously.
• a related object is to re ⁇ cute the cost of achieving support sheet metallization.
• the invention provides a metallization method in which a support member, such as paper sheeting, receives a metal ⁇ lic film from a plastic sheet carrier.
• the metallic film carries a water-based thermoplastic adhesive material, and becomes adhered to the paper support thereby.
• the thermoplastic material serves to compensate for any ir ⁇ regularities in the support surface, and the transferred metallic film is provided with a suitable degree of smooth- ness by virtue of its contact with a smooth mating surface of the plastic carrier.

• the pressure and/or heating effect is sufficient to produce flow in the thermoplastic layer short of melt- ing.
• the composite is thereafter cooled and the plastic sheet stripped away to leave the support member with the metallic film adhered to it by the thermoplastic layer.
• the plastic sheet is remetallized and used in the subse- quent metallization of other support members.
