Zusammenfassung: | The invention provides a coating with a metallic or ceramic finish which is applied to all or part of the surface of a thermoplastic, metallic or metal alloy article, comprising:
(a) preparing the thermoplastic, metallic or metal alloy article;
(b) applying on said article a polymeric layer based on aqueous dispersions of resins that are free of volatile organic components or dispersions in organic solvents of resins that are free of urethane;
(c) curing said polymeric layer; and
(d) depositing a single layer of a metallic or ceramic material on the article coated with the cured polymeric layer;
the curing of said polymeric layer of step (c) being performed at a temperature between 30 and 80 °C in the case of thermal polymeric layers, or by ultraviolet radiation in the case of photosensitive polymeric layers. This coating confers the articles a metallic or ceramic appearance, as desired, as well as resistance to chemical corrosion and external stresses owing to climate changes and mechanical friction caused by daily use. |
