Why can't non-conductive plastics be electroplated?

There are many processes for metallizing surface treatment of plastic and plastic products, such as: vacuum coating, metallization, cathode sputtering, chemical deposition, etc., such electroplating processes have different surface treatment effects, the purpose is Make it possible to perform a more effective plating surface treatment.

Among the above process steps of electroplating surface pretreatment, the most effective and commonly used is the chemical deposition process, which has been widely used and tested in the market. The process flow: 1. Degreasing of plastic products - —Coarse activation 2. Electroless metal plating 3. Electroplating surface treatment 4. Finished product inspection, and select good products that meet customer requirements for packaging.

Although the process can be operated as such, in the production order of plastic plating processing, it will be adjusted according to the actual situation, and the quality control of each process production should be carried out as far as possible from the customer's interests and product quality assurance. Hope to create a market demand. The product.

The benefits of choosing plastic plating:

Plastic electroplated articles have the characteristics of both plastic and metal. It has a small specific gravity, good corrosion resistance, easy molding, metallic luster and metallic texture, as well as electrical conductivity, magnetic permeability and welding. It can save complicated mechanical processing, save metal materials, and is beautiful and decorative. At the same time, it also improves the mechanical strength of plastics. Since the metal plating layer has high stability to external factors such as light and atmosphere, the plastic plating metal can prevent the plastic from aging and prolong the service life of the plastic parts. With the rapid development of industry and the increasing application of plastic plating, it has become one of the important means of surface decoration in plastic products. At present, it has been widely plated on ABS, polypropylene, polysulfone, polycarbonate, nylon, phenolic glass fiber reinforced plastic, polystyrene and other plastic surfaces. Among them, ABS plastic plating is the most widely used and the plating effect is best. .
