ABSTRACT:
Plastics and articles made therefrom are metal plated by conditioning their surface by a treatment with sulfur trioxide vapor or a sulfur trioxide containing atmosphere. The thus conditioned plastics or plastic articles are then metal plated, if required, after sensibilization, nucleation or activation, and treatment with a reducing solution. Metal plating is effected by chemical deposition of the metal or by electroplating. The resulting metal layer is reenforced, if required, also by chemical plating or electroplating. The resulting metal coating has a surprisingly high adhesive strength.
