Spanish term or phrase: platificado

This comes from an extensive word list of colors called "Options" that has included "unpainted" and "laminated" among the words. This "platificado" has no context. Can anyone help me with its most likely English translation in such a list?

plasticized

Explanation:
While I agree with mar52's interpretation "plastificated" is incorrect.

Note that plasticized means " : to make plastic", but the Spanish "plastificado" can mean "laminated"

plastificated

Explanation:
Pienso que es un error, debería ser "plastificado".

Con el contexto dado, "sin pintura", "laminado", me inclino a pensar que se trata de plastificado = plastificated.

Viendo la respuesta de David, (siempre suponiendo que "platificado" es un typo), laminado y plastificado no son dos procesos iguales. El plastificado es un acabado que se le da a una superficie básicamente para protegerla y también por razones de estética.
