[Plating and Painting Case Study] Mannequin-shaped Styrofoam

Successful vacuum plating on expanded polystyrene that deforms with heat! Processing that creates uneven surfaces is also possible. This is something our company, with nearly half a century of experience, has achieved.

This is a mannequin made of expanded polystyrene that has undergone plating. As one of our new initiatives, we have been challenging ourselves to apply plating to expanded polystyrene up until today. Since expanded polystyrene deforms with heat, it is difficult to perform vacuum plating on it, but we have successfully completed the process this time, resulting in a plating that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. When we say we apply plating to expanded polystyrene, we are not just making it shiny; we also perform processing that creates textures, as seen in the first photo on the left. As a result, the appearance transforms into a texture resembling carbon or rock, but since it is actually expanded polystyrene, it feels incredibly light when held, creating a sense of illusion for the person holding it. Personally, I believe that the ability to achieve plating on expanded polystyrene (such as shiny and rock textures) like this opens up the advantage of being "heavy in appearance yet lightweight," which can be used in a wide range of environments such as stages and filming sets. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
