Need pp-plating baths or sheets

We are looking for suppliers of P.P.sheets to be used for chrome plating baths or suppliers of plating baths made from pp-sheets.

One of us is misunderstanding something. PP is not satisfactory for chrome plating baths.

Hi Mohammad,

Nbg. Don't! What Ted says is correct. Go and see the archives # 8169, please.

Where PP will initially fail is at the welds. Who ever suggested PP for chrome is leading you up the garden path!

Just go on the internet and hit your favorite site ... with words like 'what materials for chrome' or 'plastics for chrome' and you should get some good answers.
