With the rapid development of industry,Plastic electroplating processingIt has become one of the important means of surface decoration in plastic products. At present, it has been widely used in ABS, polypropylene, polysulfone, polycarbonate, nylon, phenolic glass fiber reinforced plastics, polystyrene and other plastic surfaces for electroplating, especially ABS plastic electroplating is the most widely used, and the plating effect is the best.

The appearance requirements of plastic electroplating are smoother than those of metal products, and the brightness can generally be achieved, but there are certain differences in their degree. It is generally believed that a better plastic electroplating appearance is bright with a "dark black" appearance and a "thick" visual sense of brightness. This macroscopic feeling is determined by the microscopic state of the surface, which means that the microscopic surface must be very flat. The coating of plastic electroplating must not have a foggy appearance, and extremely slight foggy appearance cannot be detected under strong light or direct view. It can only be detected at specific angles and light, so it is easy to be ignored. As for defects such as exposed plastic, peeling, burrs, pits, and poor deep plating, they are absolutely not allowed to exist in plastic electroplating. Some secondary assessment areas and various areas such as the back should be coated with a bright color, and should not be blackened, exposed, or have fixture marks。

Compared with metal parts, plastic electroplating products can not only achieve good metal texture, but also reduce product weight. While effectively improving the appearance and decoration of plastic, it also improves its electrical, thermal, and corrosion resistance properties. However, the selection of plastic materials for electroplating needs to comprehensively consider factors such as material processing performance, mechanical properties, material cost, electroplating cost, difficulty of electroplating, and dimensional accuracy. Due to its structural advantages, it not only has excellent comprehensive performance and is easy to process and shape, but also the material surface is easy to corrode and obtain high coating adhesion. Therefore, it is currently widely used in electroplating.
