Reflective Materials

What is the purpose of the reflection? What (approx.) wavelength range?

Hello, polished metal, chrome plated metal/plastic, mylar film come to mind.

It all depends on the environment, location, and what you want to reflect and the accuracy needed.

There is also camera/video monitoring as an option.

A little more info about the use, we could maybe give a a better answer.

Will mirrored plexi-glass do?

Good one, I forgot to list it. Good catch.

Vacuum metalising of Acrylic or Polycarbonte sheet makes very good mirror. I have been trying this for solar cooker. Here, in Mumbai, they charge Rs. 15 per square foot(Approx. Rs.45 for one USdollar) for vacuum metalising. Aluminium of about 4 microns is coated in the process. You can select any thickness sheets starting from 125 microns for Polycarbonate.

I wanted thinner sheet to reduce cost, but it seems thinner polycarbonate is not available, while polyster is available of 50 microns. The "metalised polyester" is used for food packaging and is much cheaper but may not be acceptable as "mirror".

The Polycarbonate gives the best result and has very good impact resistance. So I would suggest this for any normal "mirror" application on shopfloor in an industry.

Don't know what your specific needs are so I'd like to add this to the many good suggestions already posted... Heat Shrink Mirror

sandeep lokhande - do you have the decency to reply to any of the questions, or respond to any of the suggestions?

If not, don't bother asking again - we're all wasting our time, and I (for one) will not bother either.

It appears that only around 30 hours has passed since Mr. Lokhande first asked his question. Cut the guy some slack please. All of us don't sit in front of our computers constantly just waiting to respond instantly to impatient trolls. Maybe he is away from his computer or otherwise unavailable. It is just possible that the man has a LIFE.
