Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0530144A2] In a process for the partial and discontinuous metallisation of a plastic article by means of noble-metal particles, the plastic article containing a finely divided, homogeneously distributed filler selected from the group consisting of MnO, NiO, Cu2O, SnO and Bi2O3 is treated with an acidic aqueous solution of a noble-metal salt in such a manner that noble-metal particles are partly and discontinuously applied by electrochemical means to the plastic surface by suitable adjustment of the concentration of the acids, of the noble-metal salt and of the filler with respect to one another, and the article metallised in this way is treated with a metal by a conventional process in order to produce a continuous metal layer on the treated surface.
