Topic: Decortive finish on plastic substrate
I need to have a durable chrome color applied to a plastic substrate - Nylon 66 33GF.
I need a layer only for decoration and needs to be durable to meet typical automotive standards.
Device is a key fob (hand held remote control unit).
Current design includes TPU soft-touch regions. The TPU surface can not have chrome color on it.
Also, the chrome color on the nylon A-surfaces will only be in selective regions.
Obviously, masking is key here.
Also, the coating can not create RF signal interferance.
Looking for:
1. Possible vendors who are good with detail masking as well as direct coating onto plastic substrate.
2. What process am I really asking for? I.E. spray, vacuum metalization, PVD, ??
