Glass fiber aluminum coated oriented

A nonwoven mat of smooth flexible aluminum coated oriented glass fibers, Metafil, has been developed by Tracor Aerospace and BGF Industries, USA, for electrically or thermally conductive applications, such as parabolic dish antennae. It is compatible with most resin systems and processing is said to be similar to uncoated glass mat, but cost is lower than other conductive materials.
