Chrome Plating On Plastic Process

To prepare plastic for chrome plating, it undergoes roughening and activation as key pre-treatment steps. The critical step is electroless plating, where a thin nickel layer (a few microns thick) is applied to create a conductive base for copper and nickel plating. 

1. Loading: Fix the workpieces onto a rack for plating.

2. Degreasing: Clean the surface of the workpiece to remove oil and grease.

3. Hydrophilizing: Make the surface of the workpiece hydrophilic to prepare it for subsequent treatments.

4. Etching: Increase the surface roughness of the workpiece through chemical methods.

5. Catalyzing: Apply a catalytic treatment to prepare for chemical nickel plating.

6. Elecotroless Plating: Deposit a super thin nickel layer onto the surface of the workpiece.

7. Acid Activation: Acid wash the surface to prepare for electroplating.

8. Copper Flash Plating: Apply a thin layer of copper through flash plating.

9. Acid Copper Plating: Apply a thicker copper layer through acid copper plating.

10. Multi-layer Nickel Plating: Apply multiple layers of nickel for enhanced corrosion resistance.

11. Bright Chrome Plating: Electroplate the workpiece with a bright chrome layer.

12. Unloading: Take the finished workpiece off the rack.

Plastic Plating Line Capability

We operate two state-of-the-art plating lines: an automatic plating line and a circular plating line, both designed to handle a wide range of parts for plastic chrome plating.

The plating tank for automatic plating line measures 300*120*150 cm, large enough to accommodate not only small parts but also larger components such as grilles, trims, and other automotive or home appliance parts. The plating tank for the circular plating line measures 75*90*150 cm, ideal for smaller and medium-sized parts like logos, knobs, levers, and similar items.

With a plating capacity of 1,500,000 square meters per year, our production lines are built to deliver high volumes of plastic chrome plating while maintaining precision and quality.

Our plating lines are equipped with world-class control systems and high-performance filters, including the renowned German AUCOS control system, which features fixed pace and mixing processes, Dutch MeFiag filters, and Italian CRS rectifiers. These advanced technologies ensure consistency and precision across all of our plastic chrome plating projects.

We use electroplating chemicals from trusted suppliers such as MacDermid-Enthone, Atotech, and JCU, ensuring high-quality results in applications across a wide range of industries. Our plastic chrome plating is commonly applied to automotive, home appliance, and bathroom parts, including emblems, handles, trims, lamp shells, knobs, buttons, and more.
