Vacuum Metallizing ( V.M. ) is a process in which a simulated chrome finish is applied to a non porous substrate such as plastic. This is done under vacuum by evaporating extremely thin layer of aluminium onto the surface of a product required to be coated. This method can virtually bond to almost any surface resulting in gleaming product visually indistinguishable from an electro-plated product. One distinct advantage between V.M and electro-plated product is that, the former allows laser etching on the metallized surface but not the latter.
