PRODUCTION OF FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC MIRROR

PURPOSE:To decrease the waving of a specular face by depositing preliminarily aluminum by evaporation on a polished surface, plating preliminarily nickel to the surface of an FRP laminate and adhering the aluminum layer deposited by evaporation and the nickel plating layer then releasing the polished surface from the aluminum layer deposited by evaporation and transferring the aluminum specular face. CONSTITUTION:A silica layer 5 deposited by evaporation and the aluminum layer 4 deposited by evaporation are preliminarily formed on the surface of a glass mold 6 in (b). On the other hand, the nickel plating layer 2 is preliminarily formed by an electroplating or chemical plating method on an FRP substrate 1. Both layers are adhered by an adhesive agent 3 and are then stripped, by which the layer 5 is released from the mold 6 and the aluminum layer specular face which is deposited by evaporation and is protected by the transparent layer 5 on the surface is transferred to the FRP and the FRP mirror (a) is manufactured. The effect of decreasing the waving is low when the thickness of the nickel plating layer is
