A method for applying a metalized polymer film (140) to a seal bag (118) for use in a downhole submersible pumping system includes the steps of applying a metal layer (142) to a polymer layer (144), applying an adhesive layer (146) to the polymer layer (144), and rolling the adhesive layer (146) onto a substrate of the seal bag (118). The method may also include the steps of rotating a first roller, which is located above the polymer layer of the metalized polymer film (140), and rotating a second roller, which is located on an interior surface of the substrate of the seal bag, in the opposite direction of the first roller. Also disclosed is a downhole pumping system that incorporates a seal bag (118) manufactured from these techniques. |
