Introduction:
Silver mirror coatings have long been known for their high light reflectivity and ability to create beautiful metallic decorations. However, they also have drawbacks such as susceptibility to environmental chemicals. In this article, we will explore a new treatment developed by the Surface Chemical Engineering Research Institute that overcomes these limitations and expands the applications of silver mirror coating.
I. The Drawbacks of Traditional Silver Mirror Coatings
It has long been known that silver films produced by silver mirror coatings have high light reflectivity and can be used to create beautiful metallic decorations. However, this coating has the disadvantage that silver easily reacts with chemicals in the environment, causing discoloration, corrosion, and peeling.
II. MFS – A Solution to Improve Durability
At the Surface Chemical Engineering Research Institute, we have developed a treatment liquid that protects the film surface and significantly improves the durability of the coating without compromising the reflectivity of the silver film. As a result, silver mirror coating by MFS is being expanded not only to products for indoor use, but also to a variety of products for outdoor use.
III. MFS Corrosion Prevention Technology
MFS is the following corrosion prevention technology developed by our company that significantly improves the durability of silver mirror films.
- Corrosion inhibitor: An inorganic agent applied to the silver film.
- Adhesion agent: An additive to the undercoat agent that improves the adhesion between silver and the undercoat.
- Surface conditioner C: A chemical liquid applied before the silver film is formed. It further improves the adhesion of the silver film.
IV. MFS Application Samples
MFS can create “light” and “depth” on the surface using the reflexivity of silver. But it’s not just coated in silver; we can make the exact image you have with mirror image and metal of the highest quality.
- Motorcycle Related Products: A design as you imagine can be made by changing the color of top coating.
- Automobile Exterior Parts: By adjusting the color of top coating, distinctive metallic surface can be made in Chrome, Silver or Titanium tone.
- Light Reflective Materials: MFS has been recently tested for application on LED and reflective surface of a solar panel.
- Repairing of Decorative Goods in Buddhist Temples and Japanese Shinto Shrine with MFS: Gold plating with MFS shines more than real gold!
- Half Mirror Finishing: Half mirror coating gives a unique floating image in the design on surface of a material.
- “Plasmon KASYOKU”: It is a new technology in finishing using Surface Plasmon Resonance, transferring bright silver surface, with application of special chemical treatment, into a uniquely reflective deep color that differs from standard MFS’s Top Coating color.
Conclusion:
The MFS technology developed by the Surface Chemical Engineering Research Institute offers a significant improvement in the durability of silver mirror coatings while maintaining their high reflectivity. With its diverse applications, MFS has the potential to transform the way we think about metallic decorations and reflective surfaces. Consider MFS for your next project to achieve stunning results.
