plastic plating corrosion

Hi,
I think the problem is something trapped under the plating that becomes reactive or volatile in your environmental test chamber. Two possibilities that I can think of right off:
1) Plasticizer,
2) Acidic activator (used to prepare the surface for plating).
What is the plastic? Can you detect volatiles if heat in vacuo?
What are details of the plating process?
