In LED lighting, optical systems, and high-efficiency energy applications, material reflectivity directly impacts light utilization and overall system performance. Conventional mirror aluminum typically offers 80%–86% reflectivity, which can lead to light loss in high-power or precision optical applications.
Chalco high-reflectivity aluminum sheet uses a PVD vacuum coating process to achieve up to 99% reflectivity, significantly improving light efficiency under the same conditions. With high specular reflectance and stable performance, it is suitable for LED lighting, optical systems, and industrial applications requiring high luminous efficiency.

FAQ
What is a high-reflectivity aluminum plate? How does it differ from ordinary mirror aluminum?
High-reflectivity aluminum panels are aluminum materials that achieve high reflectivity and a high specular reflection ratio through special surface treatments (such as PVD coating). Compared with ordinary mirror aluminum, they have higher reflection efficiency, lower light loss, and maintain more stable performance over long-term use, making them suitable for high-efficiency lighting and optical applications.
What are the differences between V96 and V98 high-reflectivity aluminum plates?
The main difference between V96 and V98 lies in their reflectivity rating and specular reflection ratio. V96 has a reflectivity of approximately 96%, making it suitable for general lighting and industrial applications; V98 has a reflectivity of up to 99%, offering a higher specular reflection ratio, making it suitable for high-efficiency lighting and precision optical systems.
How to choose the appropriate reflectivity level?
The choice of reflectivity grade depends primarily on application requirements and cost considerations. For general lighting or industrial reflective applications, V96 can meet most needs; for systems with higher requirements for light efficiency, such as high-end lighting or optical equipment, V98 is recommended for higher performance.
