Polymer compositions suitable for producing plated products

A method for the production of metal-plated articles, comprising the step of

• depositing an electrically-conductive metallic layer on a surface of an article comprising a polymer composition comprising by weight:
• a) 40-60% of a propylene homopolymer, or propylene copolymer containing up to 5% by weight of ethylene and/or another C4-C10 α-olefin, and having a melting temperature of 155° C. or higher and/or a fraction soluble in xylene at 25° ° C. of 10% by weight or less;
• b) 10-20% of an ethylene-based elastoplastic copolymer, optionally, a copolymer of ethylene with C4-C10 α-olefin, wherein the ethylene-based elastoplastic copolymer has a density lower than 0.89 g/cm3;
• c) 2-6% of a styrene block copolymer;
• d) optionally, up to 3% of a propylene homopolymer having a Melt Flow Rate (230° C./2.16 kg) of 500 g/10 min. or more;
• e) 15-50% of a filler;
• and
• f) optionally, up to 6% of a color pigment.
