aluminize
Apply reflective metal
To aluminize is to coat with aluminum, typically by applying a thin metallic layer to glass, plastic, or other surfaces.
Aluminized materials reflect heat and light: aluminized Mylar, aluminized fabric for firefighters' suits.
The process creates mirrors, insulation, and protective coatings.
