Metal Paper
[MET 004]

Based on 0.02mm gauge aluminium foil with a matt black polymer coating both sides, it feels and behaves like a metal/paper/plastic hybrid ! The material, which comes from Hollywood in the US, originated in the film industry where it’s used for instant adjustments for spotlights.
But it clearly has hundreds of others including: • Modelling metal structures (it crumples and behaves to scale)
• Making actual models – e.g., the metal equivalent of paper planes
• Protoyping torches and lamps (it is heat resistant)
• Solar heating equipment (it has excellent heat absorption and can literally be wrapped around heat exchanger pipes etc).
• Pin hole cameras and similar optical applications
• Jewellery
The roll is 300mm wide and approximately 16metres in length giving a massive total area of approximately 5 square metres.
