Tool for plating resin molded body and method for plating resin molded body using the same

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a plating tool which avoids plating deposition on the tool itself in plating of a resin molded body, and therefore, also eliminates the need to exchange the plating tool. The object is achieved by a tool for plating a resin molded body, wherein a surface of a plating tool having an insulation coating part is coated with a plasticizer, and a method for plating a resin molded body using the tool.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tool for plating a resin molded body, wherein a surface of a plating tool having an insulation coating part is coated with a plasticizer. 
     
     
         2 . The tool for plating a resin molded body according to  claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of ester compounds synthesized from an acid and an alcohol. 
     
     
         3 . The tool for plating a resin molded body according to  claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer contains at least one selected from the group consisting of phthalate esters, adipate esters, trimellitate esters, phosphate esters, citrate esters, sebacate esters, azelate esters, maleate esters, and benzoate esters. 
     
     
         4 . The tool for plating a resin molded body according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 , wherein the insulation coating part is formed from a thermoplastic resin. 
     
     
         5 . The tool for plating a resin molded body according to any one of  claims 1  to  3 , wherein the tool is used for plating free from chromic acid etching. 
     
     
         6 . A method for producing a tool for plating a resin molded body, comprising treating a surface of a plating tool having an insulation coating part with a plasticizer so as to coat the surface of the plating tool having an insulation coating part with the plasticizer. 
     
     
         7 . A method for plating a resin molded body, comprising using the tool for plating a resin molded body according to any one of  claims 1  to  5  in plating of the resin molded body. 
     
     
         8 . The method for plating a resin molded body according to  claim 7 , wherein the plating of the resin molded body is plating free from chromic acid etching.
