Parker Chomerics CHO-SHIELD® 568 conductive coating is a two-component, nickel-filled epoxy specially formulated to accept an electrolytic plating layer. CHO-SHIELD® 568 is a grey-colored epoxy meant to provide a base layer for the purposed of electrolytically plating a non-conductive plastic substrate. The coating allows for a highly conductive and robust layer that is able to accept multiple metal layers with minimal thickness buildup and good adhesion to plastics. Typical applications include military and commercial components which require a metal coating on a dielectric composite material. Features and Benefits:• Pre-measured kit allows easy mixing of components in one container• Low cost conductive filler (Nickel flake) provides adequate surface conductivity• Strong and durable coating due to epoxy polymer• No primer required• Room temperature curing available
