The processing of electroplated glass bottles mainly includes the following steps:
1. **Pretreatment**
First, clean the glass bottles. Use a cleaning agent to remove dirt, grease and impurities on the surface and then wash with water; then use acid pickling to remove rust and water to remove residual acid and alkali liquids and immerse in alkali liquid for degreasing and wash again to ensure that the surface is clean and fat-free. This step is crucial for the subsequent adhesion of the electroplating layer. After that, electrolysis treatment is required to form a conductive layer for electrochemical reaction.
2. **Spraying and curing primer and topcoat**
Spray a thin layer of transparent or metallic primer on the cleaned wine bottle to increase adhesion, then heat it to cure it and increase stability to lay the foundation for subsequent decoration and protection, and then evenly apply the required metallic or other color paint on it. It also needs to be heated to completely dry to ensure that the coating is firm and smooth. This step can enhance the aesthetics and prepare for the next step. .
3. **Electroplating operation and treatment** Immerse the pre-treated glass bottle in an electrolyte containing the required metal (such as chromium solution) and turn on the power supply to allow the current to flow. At this time, due to the electrochemical effect, the metal ions in the solution are attracted to the negatively charged surface of the bottle and gradually deposited to form a uniform and dense metal film. After this process is completed, the excess electrolyte needs to be rinsed with clean water and then dried to avoid residual effects on the appearance and service life. The addition of this layer can greatly enhance the corrosion resistance and wear resistance, improve the overall quality and market competitiveness of the product.
4. **Post-processing**: According to customer needs, the completed electroplated film can be screen printed or pad printed with pattern logos and other personalized designs. The entire product must also be inspected and tested for its corrosion resistance and surface firmness. Only when it meets the standards can it be stored and packaged for sale to consumers! In this way, it not only meets the public's pursuit of the external beauty of the product, but also ensures that the practicality is not damaged, and truly achieves both internal and external cultivation~
