Abstract:
Process for treating a plastic prior to etching to enhance the coverage and adhesiveness of subsequent plating on the etched plastic surface comprises: (a) contacting the plastic with a sensitiser compsn. comprising (A) p-mentha-diene or limonene, partic. d-limonene; (b) etching the sensitised plastic; and (c) metal plating the etched plastic.

Abstract:
A conversion coating composition and a method of applying the conversion coating composition to magnesium and magnesium alloy articles prior to painting to prevent corrosion. The conversion coating composition comprises a source of vanadate ions, a material comprising phosphorus, and nitric acid or a source of nitrate ions. In addition, the composition may also contain boric acid or a source of borate ions and a source of fluoride ions or a source of fluoroborate ions.
