ABSTRACT:
A process for metal plating filled thermoplastic resins such as nylon-6. The filled resin surface to be plated is cleaned and rendered hydrophillic and preferably deglazed by a suitable solvent or acid. At least a portion of the filler in the surface is removed, preferably by a suitable acid. The treated surface is electroless plated to provide an electrically conductive metal deposit. Thereafter, the electroless plated surface is cleaned and thoroughly dried. The cleaned and dried electroless plated surface is then electroplated with at least one metallic layer to provide a desired wear resistant and/or decorative metallic surface.
