CHROME PLATING ON ABS PLASTICS

+++

CAN ANY ONE HELP ME OUT IN MAKING PALLADIUM CHLORIDE SALT FROM PALLADIUM METAL.

This is basic chemistry and is the field of very large mining and chemical companies, so I doubt anyone will help you. But if you attempt it, you will soon discover the capital investment is far beyond what it takes to plate on plastics. If, after all you succeed, you will soon forget about plating and dedicate to basic chemistry.

PREP PdCL2-ref book. WASH 2.5G Pd with con HCl for one hour. Put PD in glass and add 13 ml con HCl and 4.5 ML con HNO3 cover the beaker to prevent dust with glass, and keep for some hours. After stir and heat over a water bath till dissolve. I believe you can use this solution for activation, after the addition of req HCL.

Good luck
