Metal coating processing technology for PEEK
Japan VICTREX MC and Putian Riken Industrial jointly developed the technology for metal coating of PEEK (polyester ether ketone) "VICTREX PEEK Natural Grade" of British VICTREX. Combining the heat resistance of VICTREX PEEK and the coating process to block electromagnetic waves, it can be applied to the outer casing of a controller in an automobile engine room.
Generally, the metal plating process of a resin product is divided into two processes, and is a pre-processing process which forms a fine unevenness on the surface of a resin with a chemical agent, and the electroplating process which carried out the coating on it. However, VICTREX PEEK is highly resistant and cannot be pretreated, making it difficult to perform coating processing.
Therefore, this time, the liquid blasting method (Honing) was adopted. VICTREX PEEK was stirred in a slurry liquid doped with ceramic fine particles to form physical irregularities on the surface. The test of the product subjected to the coating process by this method revealed that the coated product having the same use as the commonly used ABS resin had the same adhesive strength. And in terms of appearance, the surface of the coating is also smoother than when using chemicals.
