As modern cars continue to pursue luxury, beauty, and lightweight, plastic electroplating Cu/Ni/Cr is increasingly replacing metal applications due to its metallic appearance, easy processing, weight reduction, excellent performance, and low cost. in the manufacture and design of automobiles.
Plastic electroplating Cu/Ni/Cr not only adds fashion to the exterior of the car, but also makes the car look high-end, so it is widely used in car logos, door handles, rearview mirrors, wheel housings, license plates, insurance Bar trim, radiator grille, anti-scratch strip, rearview mirror, roof rack, and door handle trim, etc. Automotive exterior parts are usually exposed to the outdoors and have to experience various environmental tests such as severe cold, sun exposure, heat, corrosion, acid rain, mud, stone impact and scratches, so the plastic plating parts of automotive exteriors have very strict quality requirements . Please feel free to contact us for your automotive parts plating. We provide Chrome Plating, Matt Chrome Plating and Black Chrome Plating.
Plastic electroplating technology, as a processing technology, is widely used in many industrial fields such as machinery, light industry, electronics, etc., but its role in the electronics industry is particularly important because electroplating technology plays its role in the electronics industry In addition to the protective and decorative functions in the original sense, it also plays an important role in the manufacture of electronic products.
The electronics industry is the general name of the industry that manufactures various electronic products. The products involved in the electronics industry include all aspects of social life, from household appliances to aerospace, everything that runs on the ground, flies in the sky, and is placed at home is inseparable from electronics. Products and many parts in these products require plastic plating technology.
Plastic electroplating is not only required for the processing and manufacturing of one or two parts in electronic products but also plays a vital role in the entire equipment of electronic products. The realization of the protection, decoration, and function are all important.
The medical devices we have made include handheld medical devices such as massager handles and multi-faceted massage balls, which can be made of plastic and then electroplated with chrome to increase aesthetics and wear resistance. The casings of electronic health testing instruments are mostly made of plastic and chrome plating. In addition, the handle shell of the beauty instrument is made of plastic plating to achieve a light and metal shell. The commonly used plating colors are light chrome plating and 24K real gold plating.
If you have similar needs, please send us a 3D design drawing for quotation.
The optical instruments that TLT has done include the electroplating of the camera lens, the electroplating of the reflector cup of the lampshade and the electroplating of the receiver of the signal tower. A detailed introduction will be made on the plating examples page.

For Our Industries
Color classification of lamp plating process:
Common plating colors: Chung gold, French gold, alluvial gold, camel, chrome, nickel, silver, copper, 24K gold, etc.
Yongjin: The most commonly used method, the price is relatively cheap.
French Gold: Lighter with a little bit of deep red in it.
Alluvial Gold: The surface has been sandblasted, sanded, and electroplated. It looks more real and stable. It has one more layer than ordinary electroplating and is not easy to fade, so the relative price is more expensive.
Nickel plating: The passivation film formed on the surface can resist the corrosion of atmosphere, alkali and some acids, and has good polishing performance.
Silver plating: Silver plating is easy to polish, has strong reflective ability and good thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and welding performance.
Copper plating: American black and brown bronze are dyed (rubbed) (the outside is sealed with oil to prevent oxidation) rather than plated, and its cost is more expensive than electroplating.
Chrome plating: Polish first, then plate four layers of chrome on the surface, its color is brighter than silver and not easy to oxidize.
24K gold: Plated with a layer of gold on the surface, and then plated with 24K gold.
The home appliance industry is one of the important application fields of electroplating technology. Home appliances usually need to have the characteristics of beauty, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, etc., and electroplating technology can provide these characteristics for home appliances. For example, door handles, switches, panels, and other components of home appliances can be electroplated to improve their appearance and performance. In addition, electroplating technology can also provide an anti-corrosion protective layer for home appliances and prolong the service life of products.
At present, the surface treatment of showers in the industry mainly includes electroplating, brushed and baking paint, among which electroplating is the most common.
Electroplating is a process that uses electrolysis to attach a layer of metal to the plastic surface. After electroplating treatment, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the substrate, which improves the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the shower, and enhances its appearance gloss and aesthetics.
If the electroplating quality is not good, the product will be corroded quickly in the high-temperature and high-humidity bathroom environment, and spots, bubbles, coating peeling off and even substrate corrosion will appear on the surface of the product. Not only is it unsightly, but the corroded compounds can also affect the health of water.
According to the composition of the coating, electroplating can be divided into nickel plating, chrome plating, zinc plating, etc., which can be single-layer electroplating or multi-layer electroplating. The shower electroplating process in the world mainly adopts three-layer electroplating. Well-known shower manufacturers such as Hansgrohe, Grohe, and Songlin all use standard three-layer electroplating.
The three-layer electroplating includes copper plating on the bottom layer to seal the substrate and increase adhesion; nickel plating in the middle (high-end products will also use multi-layer nickel plating process) to achieve anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion effects; chrome plating on the surface, due to the chromium layer It is stable in the air and can maintain the surface gloss for a long time.
After the electroplating treatment, the surface of the shower is as bright as a mirror, delicate to the touch, and very textured. The disadvantage is that it is easy to get fingerprints and scale, but it is easy to clean, and it can be removed by wiping with a rag.
Communication products such as mobile phones, tablets, Ipad, etc. The buttons, the navigation keys, the cameras, the cases, etc. can be plated with bright chrome, black chrome, or dark gunmetal.
For cosmetic packaging containers, vacuum plating is generally used, because vacuum plating can be made in many colors and the cost is relatively low. The base material of vacuum plating can also choose cheaper PP, PC, and other materials. Some high-end brand cosmetics use ABS base material, and the surface decoration is electroplated with light chrome, pearl chrome, or black chrome, and some are plated with real gold. The whole finished product looks very luxurious and high-grade, and the packaging cost will be relatively high. Customers can choose according to their product positioning.
The furniture accessories that can be decorated with electroplating are door handles, closet handles, drawer handles, armrests of sofas and chairs, foot covers, corners, panel frames of electronic massage chairs, buttons, etc. Vacuum plating and water plating are available, and the color is chosen according to the customer’s design.
There are many kinds of design of the nameplate, with 3d LOGO on the surface, 3d pattern, textured, laser engraved LOGO, two-color effect, etc. These designs can increase the sense of design and artistic beauty through electroplating.
