Abs Plastics Plating Application: Industrial

ABS Plastics Plating

Application for plating on plastics is virtually limitless as the users are diversifying their needs by changing the parts made of plastics. Being a lighter in weight, more corrosion resistant and foremost a less expansive, plastic becomes more and more popular to the industries. New look to the plastic material is being provided by adopting several techniques and among them the hot topic is plating on plastics. ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene styrene) is the more preferred plastic suitable for electroplating. Growel offers the complete 'road shows' towards plating on non-conductor plastics.

GINPLATE PC 452

• Non-silicated, mild alkaline soak degreaser system
• Efficiently removes soils and grease at lower concentration
  

GINPLATE CONDITIONER 474

• Strong chromic acid based micro chemical etching system to obtain true deposit adhesion on plastics.
• Avoids mechanical roughening.
  

GINPLATE REDUCER CR

• Reducing agent after etching, improves the 'bath life' of activator
• Organic based system does not affect the surface condition of the chemically etched plastic substrates.
  

GINPLATE ACTIVATOR 442

• High effective single step Palladium Tin colloids with smaller partial size
• Specially designed to metalize the plastic prior to electro-deposition & easy to handle
  

GINPLATE PA 492

• Reduces palladium to its metallic stage
• Improves initial nucleation of electroless nickel or copper
  

GINPLATE CU 803

• Highly stable electroless copper plating process
• Faster rate of deposition with broad 'working window' stable even up to 90^oC
  

GINPLATE NI 414

• Room temperature electroless nickel process with an enhanced 'bath life'
• Imparts a uniform conductive 'pit-free' semibright electroless nickel base coat on activated plastic surface

CUPROBRITE ACID COPPER

• Wide brightening range with excellent leveling
• Suitable even for higher deposit thickness
• Fully aqueous system, suitable in usage even at higher temperature
  

SPECTRA BRIGHT NICKEL

• Broad range of products with superb brightness and levelling.
• Meets all our customers'needs - both technical and commerical
• For ultimate corrosion resistance, use of the Ductolite Multilayer Nickel process is recommended.
  

DUROBRITE SRHS SALT / DUROCRACK CHROME SALT

• Mixed catalysed chrome plating process, even working at lower temperature is possible
• Extends bluish chrome coverage even up to LCD area
  

CHROME NEUTRALISER

• Alkaline chrome reducing agent
• Precipitates as chromium hydroxide in the working bath, reduces load towards effluent treatment
• Removes acidic residues from recessed areas, & also enhances corrosion protection
