How to balance the flexibility of PP gold plating film with the hardness of the gold plating layer? Product characteristics

PP gold-plated film, as a functional material that combines polypropylene (PP) substrate and metal coating, has shown extensive application potential in multiple fields. However, how to improve the hardness of the gold plating layer while maintaining the flexibility of the PP gold plating film is a key issue that needs to be addressed in product design and production processes. This article will explore how to balancePP gold-plated filmIntroduce the flexibility and hardness of the gold plating layer, and introduce the innovative practices of Advanced Institute (Shenzhen) Technology Co., Ltd. in this field.

1、 Production process and performance characteristics of PP gold-plated film

The production process of PP gold plating film mainly includes steps such as substrate selection, pretreatment, electroplating or chemical plating, and post-treatment. Select suitable PP material as the substrate and perform necessary cleaning and drying treatment to ensure that the gold plating layer can stably adhere to its surface. Deposit a layer of metal coating on the surface of PP substrate through electroplating, chemical plating or vacuum plating methods. The thickness and quality of the gold plating layer have a significant impact on the performance of the material, therefore it is necessary to strictly control the production process parameters.

PP gold-plated film has various excellent performance characteristics, including excellent conductivity, chemical corrosion resistance, high surface hardness, and a bright golden appearance. These properties make it widely used in electronic component packaging, aerospace, optics, biomedicine and other fields.

2、 Strategy for Balancing Flexibility and Hardness

1. Material selection and pretreatment

   • Substrate selection: PP material itself has the characteristics of light weight, thin thickness, and good flexibility, making it suitable for preparationPP gold-plated filmThe ideal substrate.
   • Pre treatment: Thoroughly clean and dry the PP substrate to improve the adhesion and stability of the gold plating layer.

2. Optimize electroplating or chemical plating processes

   • Electroplating: By precisely controlling the pH value, current density, and plating time of the plating solution, the crystallization of the gold plating layer is made more refined, the density is enhanced, and the hardness is improved.
   • Chemical plating: Using chemical reactions to reduce metal ions to metal and deposit them onto the surface of PP film. By optimizing the formula and reaction conditions of the chemical plating solution, high-quality gold plating layers can be obtained.

3. Additives and temperature control

   • Additives: Adding appropriate amounts of boric acid, organic acids, and other additives during electroplating or chemical plating can further improve the structure and properties of the gold plating layer and increase hardness.
   • Temperature control: Excessive or insufficient temperature can cause a decrease in the hardness of the gold plating layer, so it is necessary to determine the appropriate electroplating or chemical plating temperature based on the material characteristics and requirements.

4. Post processing

   • Perform necessary post-treatment on the gold-plated material, such as cleaning, drying, inspection, etc., to ensure product quality.
   • Appropriate heat treatment or surface treatment techniques can be used to further improve the hardness and wear resistance of the gold plating layer.
