Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for direct metal-plating of a plastic substrate.
- Metal-plating of substrate materials is known. For example, chrome-plating of automobile trim components is periodically popular. Many years ago such chrome-plating was achieved by plating a metal substrate
- a bumper (e.g., a bumper).
- chrome-plating of metal substrates for use in automobile trim parts has been reduced for a variety of reasons, including: the need to reduce the weight of the vehicle, corrosion problems with the metal substrate, the advance of other systems for energy absorption if the substrate was being used as a bumper and the like.
- the protective layer comprises clear urethane resin, black pigment paste, a solvent blend and a catalyst solution. Thereafter, a layer of corrosion prone metal is vacuum deposited to form a discontinuous film covering the combined primer/basecoat layer.
- United States patent 5,985,418 [Lein et al. (Lein)] teaches a process for manufacturing a metallized substrate using a so-called island coating method. Particularly adapted for application of a metal layer to a substrate used in the apparel industry.
- the process comprises depositing a first coating layer containing a radiation curable non- volatile film former.
- the coated substrate is then vacuum metallized to form the metal islands of the invention and thereafter, a layer of clear resinous protective dielectric top coat containing a radiation curable non-volatile film former is deposited to completely cover the layer of "metal islands" .
- the substrate can be polymeric or metallic.
- TPO Thermoplastic Olefin
- vehicles are commonly fitted with a front and rear fascia which cover or conceal a front and rear bumper beam assembly.
- Molded TPO rocker panels and fenders are also commonly utilized on vehicles.
- the trim panels are molded and then painted to match the color of the remaining portion of the vehicle.
- TPO thermoplastic olefin
- the present invention provides a process for direct metal-plating of a plastic substrate comprising the steps of:
- thermoplastic olefin (TPO) substrate i.e., the active surface of the substrate
- the active surface of the substrate comprise carbon atoms of which at least about 7 % are in the form of carbonyl in order to produce a durable, good quality metal plate coating on the substrate. If the active surface of the substrate comprises carbon atoms of which is less than about 7% in the form of carbonyl, the metal-plate coating will be inferior and subject to detachment from the thermoplastic olefin substrate.
- active surface is intended in denote a surface layer of the TPO substrate having a thickness of from about 3 to about 5 nm.
- modified TPO is intended to mean polypropylene-based materials such as polyolefin modified with a first elastomeric material such ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and further modified with a second elastomer including a diene and triene type polymer.
- first elastomeric material such as ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM)
- second elastomer including a diene and triene type polymer.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of an automotive trim piece of the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a cross sectional view of the automotive trim price of Figure 1.
- the process of the present invention is useful to directly metallize a TPO substrate.
- the TPO substrate is a modified TPO comprising a polyolefin material modified with a first elastomer, such as EPDM and then modified with a second elastomer, including diene and triene type polymers, such as acrylonitrile and butadiene.
- the elastomers are added in effective amounts providing a basis for an active surface as discussed below.
- the TPO is molded in a conventional manner into a substrate 10.
- the substrate is in the form of an automotive component such as a grill.
- other components such as fascia, trim panels, rocker panels, fenders, trim strips are also contemplated in the present invention.
- a surface of the TPO substrate 14 is activated by one of the methods described below to provide an active surface 16.
- the active surface 16 is a presentation or exterior-facing surface of the molded part on which a metal layer 18 is deposited.
- the active surface 16 of the TPO substrate 14 comprises carbon atoms of which at least about 7 % are in the form of carbonyl. Preferably from about 7 % to about 25 % of carbon atoms at the active surface are in the form of carbonyl. More preferably, from about 7% to about 20% of carbon atoms at the active surface are in the form of carbonyl. Most preferably, about 7% to about 15% of carbon atoms at the active surface are in the form of carbonyl.
- the presence of the carbonyl groups at the active surface may be confirmed by conventional techniques - e.g., FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy).
- the concentration of carbonyl groups at the active surface may be confirmed by conventional techniques - e.g. , XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy).
- a modified TPO is utilized and the desired amount of carbonyl content can be conferred to the surface of a modified TPO substrate by controlling preferred pretreatment steps in the process. .
- the etching technique comprises contacting the modified TPO substrate with an etching solution comprising chromic acid or a mixture of chromic acid and sulfuric acid. During this etching step the active surface is formed. It is believed that chromic acid is reduced on the surface of the modified TPO substrate to provide oxygen containing moieties (e.g., hydroxyl, ether and the like), including the desired carbonyl groups. The amount of desired carbonyl groups may be controlled by the time period during which the substrate is immersed in the etching solution.
- the chemical(s) used in the above-mentioned etching step may be obtained commercially from Atotech Canada Ltd. under the tradename FuturonTM.
- the active surface of the modified TPO substrate is subjected to chromic acid reduction to reduce any residual chromic acid left in the pores of the substrate from Cr 6+ to Cr 3+ (the reason for this is that Cr 6+ is detrimental if present during later steps in the process).
- the active surface of the modified TPO substrate is contacted with an acid.
- a non-limiting useful such acid is hydrochloric acid.
- the chemicals used in the above-mentioned chromic acid reduction and pre- dipping steps are commercially available under the tradename FuturonTM from Atotech Canada Ltd.
- the active surface of the modified TPO substrate is then ready for further activation wherein a surface thereof is fully activated for electrolytic metallization.
- the solution comprises palladium chloride and stannous chloride.
- stannic palladium in a concentration of from about 5 to about 20,000 ppm (0.005 to 20 g/L), preferably 20 to about 300 ppm (0.02 to 0.3 g/L), more preferably from about 20 to about 250 ppm (0.02 to 0.25 g/L) for a period of at least about one minute, preferably from about one minute to about ten minutes, more preferably from about two minutes to about four minutes.
- This activation step serves to anchor the palladium/tin complex to the surface of the TPO substrate.
- This activation step serves to anchor the palladium/tin complex to the surface of the TPO substrate.
- a desirable level of palladium/tin complex is dispersed over the surface of the substrate.
- the next step in the process is to exchange the tin in the palladium/tin complex with copper.
- This is done in a conventional manner.
- the chemical(s) used in the above-mentioned electrolytic metallization steps may be obtained commercially from Atotech Canada Ltd. under the tradename FuturonTM.
- a layer of nickel or copper can be deposited on the active surface in a conventional manner, including electroless deposition whereby nickel or copper salt is reduced onto the active surface of the TPO substrate.
- Advantages of the nickel or copper layer include increased conductivity, reduced bath time and lower palladium concentrations ( ⁇ lOOppm or 0.1 g/L) in the palladium bath discussed above.
- Step (ii) of the present process comprises electrochemically depositing a metal layer 18 on the active surface 14 of the TPO substrate 14. This can be done in a conventional manner.
- a modified TPO obtained from Solvay Engineered Polymers was activated, treated and electrolytically metallized in the following manner.
- the FuturonTM pre-plating process comprises the following general steps: (i) cleaner (optional); (ii) etching (typically with chromic sulfuric acid); (iii) reduction (typically with Cr (VI), (iv) pre-dip solution; (v) Pd/Sn activation and (vi) Cu-link.
- the modified TPO substrate was treated according to the particulars set out in Tables 1 and 2.
- Etch time was varied as set out in Table 3 below.
- Pre-plate tank conditions (dwell times, concentrations, temperatures) are reported below. All panels were plated using a conventional acid copper-electroplating bath, followed by conventional electroplating nickel and chrome baths. Panels were plated for 60 minutes at 30 amps/ft 2 to achieve 40+/- 5 microns of copper thickness for peel testing as defined in ASTM B533.
- test panels were stripped of palladium and copper using a solution of Aqua Regia (1: 1). Solutions were analysed for metal content using Atomic Adsorption spectrophotometry. Samples were tested for peel strength using the 90° tensile test, on an InstronTM instrument in accordance with ASTM B533. Each sample panel was cut into three strips and each strip tested. The overall average of the strips for each
- Example is reported as the peel strength of the panel.
- the peel test results illustrate that significantly improved adhesion of the metal plating layer is achieved in Examples 2 and 3 (carbonyl content of at least 7%) compared with that achieved in Example 1 (carbonyl content less than 7%).
