Presented by Shahab Jahromi, Knowfort Technologies BV Reactive evaporation of aluminum using an industrial ‘boat-type’ roll-to-roll metallizer offers a cost-effective way of producing transparent barrier layers. Aluminum oxide (AlOx) layers produced in this way are however brittle resulting barrier deterioration during downstream steps like direct printing and most importantly Retort
