How does one stop plating on a part/portion of an ABS enclosure?
I am working in a gas analyzer manufacturing unit. We manufacture our instruments in moulded ABS plastic enclosures. Many of our Models are used for personal safety in industries. When these instruments are used for personal safety and are worn on ones self then they are affected by the strong EMF of mobile phones. Thus we require to only plate the internal side of the enclosures.
Question: how does one stop plating on any part/portion of an ABS enclosure?

Bryan,
Most platers apply a mask-off (plating resist) and then strip the mask-off after plating. You could do a search on "plating resists" or
"plating masks" for a supplier that can help you.
