Abstract

A process for plating metal on an electrically-insulating, non-metallic article e.g. of A-B-S plastics comprises the following steps in sequence with rinses as required: (i) preparing the surface of the article eg by immersion in an alkaline cleaner, then a chromic acid etch; (ii) immersing the article in a Pd/Sn activator; (iii) immersing the article in an accelerator which is an aqueous oxidising agent eg hydrogen peroxide, a peroxo complex of a transition metal ion, a perborate or a persulphate; (iv) plating metal (eg Ni/P alloy) electrolessly on the article; and (v) electroplating metal (eg Cu, Ni and Cr in succession) on the electrolessly plated metal. Aqueous oxidising agents have advantageously different characteristics to conventional accelerators.
