  • Metal plated polymeric article
    Patent number: 4005241
    Abstract: This invention relates to a metal plated polymeric article, and method for the preparation thereof. The polymeric material used to form the article comprises a polyblend of a styrene polymer blended with a grafted chloroprene rubber and an inorganic compound. The grafted chloroprene provides the styrene polymer with high impact strength and serves as a source of labile halogen for flame retardancy. The inorganic compound catalyzes the evolution of halogen providing fire retardant properties to the metal plated polymeric polyblend article.
