Firm Specializes in the Custom Plating of Plastics and Metals

A company specializes in the custom plating of plastics and metals. Its proprietary Surface Activation process enables a mixture of reactive gases to activate all surfaces of the plastic, including intricate shapes and blind holes. The gases cause the atomic structure of the polymer to change to a depth of 25 μm, creating a polar and hydrophilic surface. Plastic becomes plateable without chromic or sulfuric etching, avoiding the environmental and safety problems associated with chromic-acid etching. PEEK, Ultem, and nylon are among the materials that can be processed. The firm also provides testing and inspection services.
