Electroplating Plastic

Electroplating Plastic

Cybershield electroplates plastic resins, steel, copper and copper alloys.

• Capability complements our industry-leading electroless plating plastic know-how.
• Cybershield can now deposit metal thicknesses up to 0.004″ (100 µm) onto plastics and selected metals.
• Electroless plating plastic is typically limited to plating thicknesses of less than 400 micro-inches (10.0 µm), electroplating plastic can cost effectively build metal thicknesses to almost any thickness requirement you have.
• Added copper & nickel thickness offered by electroplating provides superior EMI shielding over full EMI RFI range from less than 10 KHz to over 10 GHz frequency
• Provides highly durable coating due to added metal thickness – offers outstanding resistance to corrosion and abrasion in harshest operating conditions, including military and industrial applications.
• Decorative finishes can be applied by electroplating bright nickel and/or bright chrome to meet Class A surface finish requirements for automotive and other industries.
