Abstract

PURPOSE:To form a metallic film selectively and easily on the surface of plastics, by a method wherein the surface of a mold, to a nonplated part of which a masking ceramics layer has been stuck closely is electroplated and after formation of a predetermined metallic plated pattern, molten insulation plastics is pressed against the surface of the mold. CONSTITUTION:A mold 1 possesses a cavity, for which a metal having favorable conductivity and corrosion resistance to a plating solution is used. A masking pattern is formed by sticking close a masking ceramics layer 2 on a nonplated part of the surface of the mold 1. AI2O3 or SiO is used as ceramics. A metal is electroplated over a pattern other than the masking ceramics and a predetermined metallic pattern 3 is formed. Molten insulation plastics is pressed against the surface of the mold, the metallic plated pattern 3 is transferred to the surface of a plastic molded product 4 and a metallic film 5 is formed. As the molten plastics is pressed against the surface of the mold, adhesion between the resin and metallic film becomes further strong.
