Try contacting them to see if they have a process for activating the PEEK so that it can be metallized. I have set up a pilot line recently that I plan to use for beta-testing this new technology. If you would like, I can contact you outside of this forum to get a few sample pieces of your PEEK tubing. I can try and work out a successful process for you. If you are interested, please reply with your email address. This would be beneficial for both of us, in that I could then offer this as one of our finishing services. Labrat 2007-04-01T03:19:23Z http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post611.html#p611 What I want is about 20 microns of copper that is on the outside of the peek tubing. My current process is as follows: 1) evaporate Zr (bonding layer that doesn't work) 2) evaporate Cu 3) electroplate Cu Unfortunately the Copper does not adhere well to the PEEK tubing, it just comes off as I am polishing the end result. Any suggestions would be appreciated. l. lukme 2007-03-25T02:31:12Z http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post600.html#p600
