A metallic layer electroplated onto a plastic part's surface for conductivity, corrosion resistance, or a premium finish.
A metallic layer, typically chrome, nickel, or copper, electroplated onto a plastic part's surface for a metallic look, added conductivity, or corrosion resistance.
The plastic surface is first chemically etched and seeded with a conductive layer through electroless plating, then built up with standard electroplating, since plastic itself won't conduct current the way metal does.
Automotive trim and badging, plumbing fixture components, decorative hardware, and connector shells needing a metallic finish without machining metal.
ABS and ABS blends plate most reliably; other resins are plateable case by case. Full applicable-materials list and options are confirmed per order — see the Injection Molding page →
