Mirror Aluminum Sheet Coil | Haomei Aluminum

What is a Mirror Aluminum Sheet?

A mirror aluminum sheet is produced through specialized processes such as rolling and polishing, which give the aluminum sheet a reflective, mirror-like finish. The main goal is to achieve a high level of reflectivity on the aluminum surface, making it suitable for applications that require a smooth, reflective appearance.

Mirror aluminum sheets have a reflectivity rate of 86%-95% and offer a brighter, more aesthetically appealing surface compared to anodized mirror sheets, though the surface is more prone to scratching.

Characteristics of Mirror Aluminum Sheet Coil

1. Polishing Treatment: The surface of the mirror aluminum coil undergoes professional polishing treatment to display a mirror-reflective effect. Common polishing methods include mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, and electrolytic polishing. Through these methods, a very smooth reflective surface can be achieved.
2. High Reflectivity: The reflectivity of the mirror aluminum coil can reach over 86%, while high-reflectivity mirror aluminum coil can exceed 95%. This high reflectivity makes it particularly effective in lighting and reflective material applications, enhancing light efficiency and saving energy.
3. Surface Treatment: To enhance the durability of the aluminum coil and protect its surface, a transparent anti-scratch coating is usually applied on top of the mirror effect. This coating not only prevents scratches but also improves the weather resistance of the aluminum coil.

Specifications of Mirror Aluminum Sheet Coil

Mirror aluminum coils can be customized according to specific customer requirements, including single-sided or double-sided coating, and leveling to specific lengths. During production, the surface of the aluminum coil is treated to be smooth and scratch-free, with burr-free edges.
