Problems solved by technology

However, there are still many shortcomings in the current plastic electroplating process, such as (1) the entire electroplating process is not environmentally friendly, causing great harm to the human body and environmental pollution; (2) the plastic substrates that can be used for electroplating are very limited, only ABS, PC / ABS, nylon and other engineering plastics can be plated with metal layers on their surface, such as copper, nickel, chromium, etc.
(3) The washing process involved in the electroplating process of the prior art is as many as more than 30 channels, and the water consumption is extremely large
Moreover, the chemicals used, such as hexavalent chromium and trivalent chromium, are harmful to the human body, and the discharged wastewater is not easy to treat, causing serious pollution to the environment.
[0003] In recent years, many scientific and technical personnel and experts have proposed some improvement methods to solve the above-mentioned unenvironmental protection problems, mainly chemical methods and physical methods. However, due to the defects in the process, there is no effective method that can be mass-produced.
The mainstream of the chemical method is to use potassium permanganate instead of hexavalent chromium (chromic anhydride) as a roughening method for plastic pretreatment. There are many studies in this area, and it is stated that the method is feasible, but it has not been widely used so far. The reason, or because: first, potassium permanganate is a strong oxidant, which is still harmful to the human body and the environment
Second, the bonding force between the plastic and the metal coating obtained by this chemical method is uneven and unstable.
However, although the physical method is relatively ideal, it has not been widely used for more than 5 years. The reason is that the bonding force between the plastic substrate and the metal coating of this method is too low, and it is still in urgent need of improvement.

Abstract

The invention provides a plastic non-chrome roughening treatment method and a water-saving electroplating method thereof. A plastic workpiece is put into a non-chrome roughening solution to be treated; the surface of the treated plastic workpiece is coated with a binding force accelerant in a dipping manner; finally, the plastic workpiece is subject to plasma activation treatment. According to thetechnical scheme, the better interlayer binding force can be achieved between obtained plastic and a coating, the traditional electroplating process can be completely replaced, in the whole process that the surface of the plastic workpiece is electroplated with a chromium film, toxic chemicals of hexavalent chromium or trivalent chromium and the like are not used, the discharge amount of waste water can be 50% of or lower than the discharge amount of traditional electroplated water, the process is stable, commercial mass production is achieved, and the green surface treatment process with thewide prospect is provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electroplating, and in particular relates to a chromium-free roughening treatment method for plastics and a water-saving electroplating method. Background technique [0002] One of the main functions of plastic electroplating is to enhance the decorativeness of the plated parts of the product, to provide an exquisite metal appearance and a variety of colors, and the second is to improve the hardness and wear resistance of the product surface. With the improvement of society and quality of life, the application of plastic electroplating is increasing day by day. However, there are still many shortcomings in the current plastic electroplating process, such as (1) the entire electroplating process is not environmentally friendly, causing great harm to the human body and environmental pollution; (2) the plastic substrates that can be used for electroplating are very limited, only ABS, PC / ABS, nylon and other...
