Brass electroplating onto plastics 

Letter 10035

I have problems to plate plastics with brass. First I plate copper to the plastics and then the brass, but after I plate with brass there are many black spot on the product. Does anyone have opinion for this case?

Kusama,

You need to plate nickel after the copper, because it is the correct method for plating brass on any surface not only on plastics. So, copper, bright nickel, and afterwards brass.

Good luck,

Dear sir,

Plz specify whether after brass plating on copper surface, you are using a lacquer also on the brass surface? Because brass has the property of getting tarnished very quickly with time in contact with environmental factors viz. moisture, temp, etc you find black spots on the brass surface. So to protect the brass coating give the plated material a dip in lacquer.

Good luck,
