Abstract

Verfahren zur Metallisierung einer Kunststoffoberfläche, wobei die folgenden Verfahrensschritte nacheinander durchgeführt werden: Die Kunststoffoberfläche wird einer Beizbehandlung unter milden Beizbedingungen unterzogen. Im Anschluß daran wird die Kunststoffoberfläche mit einer Metallsalzlösung behandelt, die zumindest ein Salz aus der Gruppe "Kobaltsalz, Silbersalz, Zinnsalz, Bleisalz" enthält. Die Kunststoffoberfläche wird mit einer Sulfidlösung behandelt. Letztendlich wird die Kunststoffoberfläche in einem Metallisierungsbad metallisiert.
