Grivory GV HT Product Presentation HAR-June 2004e Page 7 Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD- process) Galvanic Copper - Nickel Electroplating Painting with conductive lacquer or urethane Metal is evaporated under vacuum and forms a thin layer on the part. Most plastics can be plated using this approach. The most durable and desirable approach in which a galvanic copper substrate is deposited upon the plastics surface. Nickle and chrome layers are deposited upon the copper base to yield a durable high luster surface. Painted with metal-powder filled "clear" paints for electromagnetic shielding. Typically done with copper, nickel and silver. Grivory can be Metalized!
