The Difference Between Water Plating And Vacuum Platin

Plastic plating-the difference between water plating and vacuum plating.
1. Different definitions:
Water electroplating, also known as wet electroplating, as its name implies, is related to water and aqueous solution. The principle of electrochemical reaction is a chemical process. Due to the heavy use of water / aqueous solution, the pollution is great.
Vacuum plating, in fact, can not be called electroplating, it is usually a physical change, or chemical change, but not an electrochemical process. There are many kinds of vacuum plating, and the electric field transfer technology is widely used.
2. Different scope of application:
Electroplating is generally suitable for ABS material and ABS+PC material products. The main process is to put the products that need electroplating into the electroless plating solution for electroplating. According to the different needs of customers, can be plated into different colors, with highlight silver, sub-silver, gray silver, gun color, gold, black chrome, semi-light chromium.
Vacuum plating because the electrical conductivity of the electroplated products is significantly enhanced, there are two ways for some parts that need to be insulated: first, apply insulating oil to the parts that need insulation, so that the part will not be electroplated during electroplating, so as to achieve the effect of insulation! Of course, the part coated with insulation oil will turn black, so it is not suitable to be used as an appearance surface. Second, the parts that need electroplating are pasted with special adhesive tape and protected, so as to achieve the effect of insulation.
3. The characteristics are different:
Because of its simple process and less stringent requirements from equipment to environment, hydroelectric plating is widely used. There is a weakness in electroplating, which can only be plated with ABS and ABS+ PC. The vacuum plating can reach about 200 ℃, which can be electroplated for the parts used at high temperature.
