Method Of Plating Plastics

View page

US Patent:

46734694, Jun 16, 1987

Filed:

Jul 17, 1985

Appl. No.:

6/755961

Inventors:

Sidney C. Beach - Parma OH
Jack D. Fellman - Brunswick OH

Assignee:

McGean-Rohco, Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

C25D 510

US Classification:

204 384

Abstract:

A method is provided for electrodepositing a layer of copper on a plastic substrate which method comprises: positioning the plastic substrate on a supporting member, with the supporting member being in contact at a plurality of spaced apart points with the substrate for the passage of electrical current therebetween; electrolessly depositing a thin layer of metal selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cobalt and mixtures thereof on a surface of the plastic substrate; positioning the supported substrate in an electroplating bath including from about 10. 0 to about 45. 0 g/l of copper ions, at least one acid selected from the group consisting of sulfuric acid, fluoroboric acid and sulfamic acid, with the acid being present in an amount sufficient to cause the electroplating bath to have a conductivity ranging from about 0. 40 to about 0. 60 mhos and from about 30 to about 150 mg/l of chloride ions; and passing electrical current through the bath so as to cause a layer of copper to be electrolytically deposited over the layer of electrolessly deposited metal.

US Patent:

42182921, Aug 19, 1980

Filed:

Mar 22, 1979

Appl. No.:

6/022983

Inventors:

Jack D. Fellman - Brunswick OH
Harvey L. Kaufman - Hudson OH
Alan W. Stobbe - Mobile AL

Assignee:

McGean Chemical Company, Inc. - Cleveland OH

International Classification:

C25D 322

US Classification:

204 55R

Abstract:

An aqueous acidic electroplating bath for the deposition of zinc is provided which comprises zinc ions in an amount sufficient to deposit zinc metal on a substrate, chloride ions in an amount sufficient to impart electrical conductivity to said bath, boric acid in an amount sufficient to buffer said bath to the desired pH, and an effective amount of at least one brightener selected from the group consisting of (i) condensation products of aromatic aldehydes with amides and (ii) condensation products of aromatic aldehydes with urea or substituted ureas.
