Air-drying primer, also suitable for two-component systems. Offers relatively high hardness. Can be overcoated with PU/UV clear coats with excellent interlayer adhesion.
The High-Hardness Electroplated Silver Resin DS-981 represents a breakthrough in modern coating technology, formulated specifically to meet the rigorous demands of advanced surface finishing. Acting as a highly efficient medium, this specialty chemical material utilizes a precisely engineered active solvent system to facilitate the flawless directional alignment of metallic pigments. When applied, the clear to slightly bluish liquid transforms into a robust, luminous layer that perfectly mimics the visual depth and reflective brilliance of traditional electroplating. Formulators and production managers will appreciate its seamless integration into existing manufacturing lines, where it dramatically enhances coating opacity, luminous whiteness, and structural hardness. Beyond its aesthetic capabilities, the resin cures into a formidable barrier that resists alcohol degradation and surface abrasions, ensuring the longevity of the final product. Whether deployed in single-component applications or complex dual-component systems, this resin provides an uncompromising foundation for high-end plastic imitation electroplating coatings and electroplating silver oils, delivering a tactile smoothness and a visually striking metallic resonance that elevates the perceived value of any coated substrate.
To ensure absolute precision and predictability in your coating production lines, we provide comprehensive technical parameters for the DS-981 resin. These specifications are meticulously monitored during our manufacturing process to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency. The following table outlines the critical physical and chemical properties required for optimal formulation and application.

Our electroplated silver resin is engineered to provide formulators with a competitive edge, combining aesthetic brilliance with mechanical reliability.
Flawless Pigment Alignment: The unique solvent architecture ensures that aluminum powders and metallic pigments align perfectly parallel to the substrate, resulting in a brilliant, mirror-like metallic feel with superior whiteness.
Exceptional Structural Integrity: Once the film is fully formed, it exhibits an outstanding balance of high surface hardness and underlying flexibility, preventing micro-cracking under mechanical stress.
Versatile Substrate Application: Engineered for broad compatibility, this resin adheres flawlessly to various plastics. When paired with an appropriate primer, it extends its exceptional performance to metal substrates as well.
Superior Interlayer Adhesion: Designed to work harmoniously with both PU and UV topcoats. This chemical synergy prevents delamination, ensuring the topcoat bonds securely to the silver base layer for a durable, long-lasting finish.
Streamlined Curing Process: While it functions excellently as a self-drying primer, it also accommodates accelerated production schedules. For optimal results with PU and UV topcoats, a brief baking cycle at 70℃ for 30 minutes guarantees complete solvent evaporation and maximum cross-linking.
Achieving a premium metallic aesthetic without the environmental and financial costs of traditional electroplating is a primary objective for modern coating manufacturers. The DS-981 resin excels in this arena by providing an unparalleled imitation electroplating effect. Through its advanced rheological properties, the resin forces metallic flakes to lie perfectly flat against the coated surface. This precise directional alignment maximizes light reflectance, drastically improving both the opacity and the luminous whiteness of the finish.
The resulting surface not only looks like genuine chrome or electroplated silver but also feels exceptionally smooth to the touch. By integrating this resin into your production cycle, you can deliver end products that exude a strong, high-value metallic resonance, effectively replacing hazardous electroplating processes while maintaining the premium appearance that end-users demand.
Stability and reliability are non-negotiable factors for engineers and formulation specialists. The DS-981 resin is synthesized under strict quality control protocols to ensure every batch meets exacting physical and chemical standards. With a precisely controlled solid content of 12±1%, formulators can accurately predict the dry film thickness and overall yield of their coating systems. The viscosity, maintained tightly between 50-80 (Geigy tube/25℃), ensures excellent flow and leveling characteristics, preventing surface defects such as orange peel or brush marks during application. Furthermore, the ultra-fine dispersion capability, characterized by a fineness of ≤15um, guarantees that the resin integrates seamlessly with metallic pigments without causing agglomeration. These rigorous specifications translate directly into extended shelf stability, predictable behavior during complex formulation processes, and a drastic reduction in production downtime caused by material inconsistencies.
A visually stunning coating is only valuable if it can withstand the rigors of daily use. The DS-981 resin is chemically engineered to deliver a formidable protective barrier that balances high surface hardness with essential film flexibility. This dual-natured mechanical profile ensures that the coating resists impact and bending without fracturing or peeling. In addition to its structural resilience, the cured resin boasts exceptional resistance to chemical degradation, particularly against alcohol exposure, which is a critical requirement for consumer electronics, automotive interiors, and household appliances. The robust scratch resistance further protects the pristine metallic finish from abrasive forces encountered during shipping, assembly, and end-consumer handling. By utilizing this high-performance resin, manufacturers can significantly enhance the durability and lifespan of their coated components, directly reducing defect rates and warranty claims.
Efficiency on the production floor relies heavily on the adaptability of the materials being used. The DS-981 resin offers immense process latitude, functioning flawlessly as either a standalone self-drying primer or as a core component in sophisticated two-component coating systems. Its chemical versatility allows for direct application onto a wide array of plastic substrates, while also accommodating metal surfaces when pre-treated with a suitable primer. Most importantly, this resin has been specifically formulated to exhibit perfect compatibility with polyurethane (PU) and ultraviolet (UV) curable topcoats. The active chemical groups within the resin matrix promote profound interlayer adhesion, effectively eliminating the risk of topcoat peeling. To maximize production throughput, the resin supports an optimized curing schedule; a simple baking process at 70℃ for 30 minutes ensures complete drying and perfect readiness for subsequent topcoat applications, thereby accelerating overall manufacturing timelines.
We believe in empowering our partners with actionable technical insights to accelerate their product development cycles. To minimize your research and development phase and reduce formulation trial-and-error, we provide a highly optimized reference formulation for the DS-981 resin.
Resin Base: A 70-80% allocation ensures the optimal film-forming matrix and structural integrity.
Silver Powder: A 6-8% concentration is recommended to achieve the ideal balance of opacity and brilliant metallic luster without compromising adhesion.
Polyester Adhesion Promoter: A 1-2% addition is advised. For substrates that are notoriously difficult to coat, integrating specialized promoters (such as our DS-360 or DS-370) will significantly enhance the chemical bond.

The DS-981 resin is highly compatible with a wide variety of plastic substrates, providing excellent direct adhesion. If you are applying this coating to metal substrates, it is imperative to use an appropriate metal primer first to ensure maximum bonding strength and prevent long-term delamination.
The resin utilizes a specially mixed active solvent system that controls the rheology of the coating during the drying phase. This system forces the metallic pigments, such as aluminum powder, into a strict directional alignment parallel to the substrate, maximizing light reflection and creating a brilliant, chrome-like metallic feel.
While the DS-981 functions excellently as a self-drying primer, applying polyurethane (PU) or ultraviolet (UV) topcoats requires the base layer to be entirely free of residual solvents. We strongly recommend a baking cycle at 70℃ for 30 minutes to ensure complete drying and to maximize the interlayer adhesion between the silver base and the topcoat.
