Compared with metal parts, plastic electroplating products can not only achieve good metal texture but also reduce the weight of products. While effectively improving the appearance and decoration of plastics, it also improves their electrical, thermal, and corrosion resistance. performance, improving the mechanical strength of its surface.
However, the selection of plastic materials for electroplating should comprehensively consider factors such as material processing performance, mechanical properties, material cost, electroplating cost, the difficulty of electroplating, and dimensional accuracy. Because of its structural advantages, ABS plastic not only has excellent comprehensive properties, is easy to process and shape, but also has a high coating adhesion due to the easy erosion of the material surface. Therefore, it is currently widely used in electroplating.
With the rapid development of the industry, the application of plastic electroplating is becoming more and more extensive, and it 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, and phenolic glass fiber reinforced at home and abroad. Electroplating is carried out on the surface of plastics, polystyrene, and other plastics, among which ABS plastic electroplating is the most widely used, and the electroplating effect is the best.
