Process directions
Plastic parts need suitable surface preparation before subsequent metal layers. Our data lists front-end steps such as pre-etching, etching, neutralizing, activation and acceleration.
| Direction | Use | Key points to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic pre-etching & etching | Prepares surface morphology for subsequent metallization; our data lists directions for specific plastics. | Confirm resin type, fillers and mold surface condition. |
| Neutralizing & activation | Connects the etching and metallization steps, helping establish conditions for subsequent plating. | Focus on cleaning, residues and adhesion verification. |
| Transition to subsequent electroplating | Choose the subsequent copper, nickel or other plating structure based on appearance and usage requirements. | Complete adhesion and appearance tests on actual parts. |
Please specify when submitting requirements
Please provide resin material, mold surface, structural dimensions and expected coating. Different plastics and fillers respond differently to pretreatment, so sample verification comes first.
The above is organized by application from the provided product catalog and data and serves as a selection starting point. Specific formulations, applicable substrates, process windows and inspection requirements should be confirmed with the corresponding technical data and sample verification.
