Polyamide | Nylon
Polyamide (often called Nylon) is a lightweight plastic with exceptional tensile strength. These properties make it very intersting for applications such as vehicle door handles. However electroplating this material has proved very difficult due to poor adhesion and low yield rates. Until now.......
MacuPlex SA enables metallization of polyamide with consitent results and high adhesion strength. The system avoids the use of chromic / sulphuric acid etching to achieve the surface funcionlization required. Typically adhesion strength is increased by some 4X on materials such as Nylon 6 & 12 (when compared to traditional wet methods).How can we help you to plate Polyamide?
