METHOD FOR PLATING MOLDED BODY OF POLYVINYLIDENE CHLORIDE WITH METAL

摘要

PURPOSE:To form a metallic film having superior adhesion on a molded body of polyvinylidene chloride by chemical plating by etching the surface of the molded body, treating it with palladium hyudrosol contg. a cationic surfactant and carrying out chemical plating. CONSTITUTION:A molded body of polyvinylidene chloride is immersed in an aqueous soln. of an alkali metallic hydroxide such as NaOH to etch the surface of the molded body. The molded body is then immersed in palladium hydrosol contg. a cationic surfactant such as a quat. ammonium salt type surfactant to stick palladium colloid to the surface of the molded body and the molded body is chemically plated with a metal such as Ni, Co, Cu or Ag. By this method, a metallic film having superior adhesion can be formed on the surface of the molded body by chemical plating with high reproducibility.
