Aluminum foil coated fabric is a type of protective fabric that is made of aluminum foil and silicone. The foil is bonded to fiberglass fabric with a special fire retardant adhesive. The fabric has excellent heat and light reflection and high tensile strength. It is also airtight and water resistant. This fabric is widely used in various industries such as automotive and high-speed trains.

It is an economical, high-quality material that can be used in a variety of applications. It is ideal for heat reflective insulation, custom clearance, and coating fabrics. In addition to its excellent thermal and light reflective properties, aluminum foil coated fabric has other benefits, including a smooth surface, good stretching resistance, and a low moisture vapor transmission rate.

The process involves placing a vertically placed sheet of aluminum foil in an ultrasonically activated tank. The effect of the ultrasonic wave on the foil is judged by the pattern it forms after being exposed to an ultrasonic beam. The picture to the right shows an example of a pattern made by aluminum foil coated fabric. During the process, the holes and pits formed are caused by cavitation bubbles that form near the foil surface.

Once the aluminum foil stock is formed, it must be further processed on a rolling mill. The work rolls are finely ground and polished and are paired with a heavier backup roll. This prevents air from leaking into the center of the roll, resulting in a more stable and uniform gauge.
