A new process for The metallising of plastics

Abstract

In recent years considerable research has been carried out on the metallising of plastics. It has long been realised that there could be many important industrial applications, especially in the field of corrosion resistance, if the surface hardness and moisture permeability of plastics could be improved by a durable coating of metal. In the purely decorative department, where appearance is more important than length of service, it must be admitted that the demand has been fairly satisfactorily met by such processes as vacuum deposition, with or without electroplating. In the industrial sphere, however, the picture has not been quite so encouraging and the product has fallen short in many ways.
