Abstract
A metallized polymer mirror construction having improved durability against delamination and tunneling, comprising: an outer layer of polymeric material; a metal oxide layer underlying the outer layer of polymeric material; a silver reflective layer underneath the metal oxide layer; and a layer of adhesive attaching the silver layer to a substrate.
Claims8
A metallized polymer mirror construction having improved durability against delamination and tunneling, consisting essentially of:
- an outer layer of a polymeric material:
- a metal oxide layer underlying said outer layer of polymeric material;
- a silver reflective layer of between about 700 to about 1000 angstroms thickness underneath said metal oxide layer;
- an adhesive layer attaching said silver reflective layer to a substrate;
- and
- a copper layer disposed between said adhesive layer and said silver reflective layer.
