Custom Injection Molded Plastic Enclosure for Wireless Gateway Router

Metallic Coatings: A thin layer of metallic material, such as aluminum or silver, is applied to the surface of the router plastic enclosure. This can be achieved through various techniques like vapor deposition, sputtering, or electroplating.

Reflector Layers: A thin layer of material with high reflectivity, such as glass beads or micro-spheres, is applied to the surface of the router plastic enclosure. These beads create a diffuse reflectance, resulting in a bright and uniform appearance.

Dielectric Coatings: A thin layer of insulating material, such as silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide, is applied to the surface of the router plastic enclosure. These coatings can create a high-reflectivity surface and also provide other benefits like improved scratch resistance and chemical durability.

Printing Methods: Some printing techniques, like Screen Printing, Pad Printing, or Laser Engraving, can create a reflective surface by depositing a layer of metallic ink or material on the surface of the router plastic enclosure.

Adhesive Foils: A thin, reflective foil is applied to the surface of the plastic using an adhesive. This is a common method used in headlamp reflectors, warning lights, and other applications where high reflectivity is required.

Polishing: The surface is polished to create a smooth finish, which helps to enhance reflectivity.

Etching: The surface is etched to create microscopic scratches, which can improve reflectivity and surface roughness.

Optical Coatings: Multi-layer coatings can be applied to improve reflectivity, reduce absorption, and enhance color accuracy.
