Description
Yixing plastic offer bright chrome plated plastic with environmentally friendly trivalent chrome plating plastic chemistry (RoHS Compliant).
§ Equivalent appearance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance as hexavalent chrome plating plastic.
§ without the environmental issues associated with traditional chrome plating.
Plateable Plastic Resins – ABS is most commonly used for chrome plating plastic applications due to the ease to plate and provide smooth and consistent plated plastic surface finish.
Decorative bright chrome plating plastic process includes following steps:
1. Apply initial electroless nickel plating layer, 20-40 micro-inches (0.5-1.0 µm) onto all surfaces of plastic part to make surface conductive. The conductive surface is required for electroplating plastic.
2. Copper is deposited with thickness ranging from 400-1000 micro-inches (10-25 µm)
3. Nickel is deposited with thickness ranging from 320-800 micro-inches (8-20 µm). we also deposits duplex nickel to meet automotive industry exterior requirements.
4. Trivalent chromium is deposited to 4-10 micro-inches (0.1-0.25 µm)
