Carbon-based direct plating process

A method of preparing a non-conductive substrate to allow metal plating thereon and a two-part gel coating composition. The method includes the steps of (a) contacting the non-conductive substrate with a conditioner comprising a high molecular weight conditioning agent; (b) applying a carbon-based d...

Zusammenfassung:A method of preparing a non-conductive substrate to allow metal plating thereon and a two-part gel coating composition. The method includes the steps of (a) contacting the non-conductive substrate with a conditioner comprising a high molecular weight conditioning agent; (b) applying a carbon-based dispersion to the conditioned substrate, wherein the carbon-based dispersion comprises adhesive carbon or graphite particles dispersed in a liquid solution; and (c) etching the non-conductive substrate. The adhesive carbon black or graphite particles in the liquid-carbon based dispersion have a small particle size and a tight particle size distribution.
