Plastic Plating Line (PoP)
Plastic Plating (PoP) Systems for Decorative and Functional Finishing
Suntech’s PoP systems offer full automation for metallizing ABS, PC-ABS, and other plastics with decorative or EMI-shielding coatings. From surface conditioning to copper/nickel/chrome layering, every stage is optimized for adhesion, uniformity, and efficiency.
We serve sectors like automotive interiors, electronics casings, and sanitary fittings with high-end chrome finishes.
Process Flow
Our process sequence, optimized for performance, reliability, and uniform surface finish:
Each step is carefully monitored through our automated control systems, with recipe-based program management ensuring repeatability and traceability.
Purpose and Benefits
Plastic plating combines the benefits of lightweight polymer substrates with the durability and aesthetics of metallic coatings. It enables components to meet EMI/RFI shielding requirements or provide a premium chrome finish in consumer applications. The process ensures strong metallurgical adhesion, even on complex geometries.
Industries & Products
Used extensively in automotive interiors (dashboards, grilles, bezels, handles), electronics housings, sanitary fittings, and lifestyle products. Typical parts include ABS or PC-ABS components requiring decorative chrome or EMI/RFI shielding.
Configuration & Capabilities
Configurable for rack or barrel processing, with advanced handling systems for plastic substrates.
Notable features:
- Fully automated crane systems with PLC/SCADA control
- Multi-stage chemical conditioning tanks (etch to chrome)
- Optional vision systems for defect detection
- Closed-loop rinse water recycling
- Maximum capacity delivered: __ tons/day (placeholder)
