ABSTRACT

Polymer films coated with a thin layer of aluminum or aluminum oxide are extensively used in food packing as heat shields. The infrared rays were not transmitted through the films and were reflected protecting the contents from the harmful effects of infrared light. The quantitative measurement of the film thickness and infrared light reflection and absorption capacities of aluminum coated films used as packing materials were possible using infrared spectroscopy.
