Silver is an excellent metal to use for plating. Silver is also used a more affordable alternative to gold plating. In astronomical optical mirror application, silver coatings provide benefits to primary, secondary and tertiary mirrors because of its high reflectance and lasting durability.
Enhanced protective silver coatings are being explored to provide maximum reflectivity while improving the lifespan of the silver base. One prospective process that would create stronger corrosion barriers is through plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition, using aluminum-oxide as the top layer that acts as a barrier to help protect against corrosion and maintain reflectivity. Results of testing show that these added layers successfully protect against corrosion and moisture. These plasma-enhanced barriers can be applied to optical mirrors that require high reflectivity and absorbency.

Benefits of Silver Coated Mirrors
Compared to other plated metals, silver has the most applications and is found throughout nearly every common industry. Classified as a noble metal, silver possesses many inherent benefits that make it a versatile plating material. For years, the process of silvering was applied to coat the surface of glass to create mirrors. Silver coatings are ideal for observing all wavelengths of light, offering high reflectivity and low emissivity that is especially useful for an infrared application.

Though bare silver is considered a poor solution due to its ability to tarnish and its inability to reliably adhere to surfaces like glass, a protected silver mirror coating can be applied. These coatings can be highly reflective dielectric layers that resist tarnishing and improve adhesion. Although it is possible that these protected silver coatings may be susceptible to damage from ultraviolet light, choosing specific dielectric overcoats of higher thicknesses may prevent this degradation.

As a coating for optical mirrors, silver may outperform traditional aluminum coatings. Researchers studying the Gemini telescopes have determined that a silver mirror coating is effective for observing infrared and visible spectrum wavelengths, however, the properties of silver may tend to over-absorb ultraviolet light. Although aluminum may be a better solution, hybrid coatings that combine silver and aluminum are being explored.

A copper free mirror is made through a chemical sedimentation process. As traditionally a sheet of specially treated silver is coated on quality float glass, followed by a sheet of special metal film instead of copper and this is then finished with two layers of paint for chemical and physical protection using a paint can produce a copper free high quality mirror.

The main benefit of copper free mirrors is the reduced corrosion. As discussed above, this is the rusting that appears beneath the surface of the coating and once this appears there nothing that can be done to get rid of it. RUNTAI Copper free & Lead Free mirrors are 3 times more resistance to corrosion than traditional mirrors. Other than the benefits of longer longevity of the mirror, copper free mirrors are also better for the environment. Without the harmful chemicals such as copper sulfate and lead in the manufacturing process, the production of these mirrors are significantly less harmful to the environment.

There is no way to tell by looking at a mirror if it is copper free. Sometimes this will be printed on the backing of the mirror. The best way to ensure a mirror is copper free is to ask the manufacturer or distributor of the product. RUNTAI Copper Free and Lead Free Mirrors  are all made with utmost quality assurance to stand up to customer expectations.

RUNTAI Safety Mirror is produced by attaching an adhesive protective plastic film on the back of mirror. It can prevent people from being hurt while mirror is breaking (broken) by accident. Almost all safety mirrors are produced with silver mirror
For an alternative, it also can be made of aluminum mirror.

Vinyl backed safety mirror is used to add dimension and light to your space with added safety benefits. The smooth vinyl film on the back of the mirror acts as a protective film, and if the mirror is cracked it stays together stuck to the film.

Applications Indoor use only
Sliding doors, Wardrobes, Mirror cabinets, Furniture, Fitness club, Gym, or other public areas
 Any places where you use common silver mirror, you can also use safety mirror.
