Description
CCB plastic (Copper Coated Beads plastic) is a type of plastic bead or component that is given a metallic coating, typically copper or another metal finish, to resemble metal in appearance while remaining lightweight and affordable.
Key Features of CCB Plastic:
Material: The base of CCB beads or components is plastic, often ABS plastic, which is durable and lightweight.
Coating: The plastic is coated with a thin metallic layer, This gives the beads or findings a shiny, metallic appearance similar to real metal.
Lightweight: Despite their metallic look, CCB plastic beads are much lighter than actual metal beads, making them ideal for crafting projects where weight is a concern (e.g., large statement necklaces or earrings).
Cost-effective: They are more affordable than solid metal beads, making them popular for large, decorative jewellery pieces or crafting where budget-friendliness is important.
Durability: While lightweight and more affordable, the metallic coating may wear off over time with frequent use or exposure to moisture, so they may not be as durable as real metal.
CCB plastic is popular in jewellery making for its cost-effective metallic look without the heaviness of metal.
