CHROMIUM REPLACEMENT PROCESS –
We make you shine – without any chromium (VI) or nickel
Even without the use of chromium (VI) and nickel, you can enjoy the elegant chrome look of decorative metallisation, for example in vehicle interiors.
With our modern coating processes, we give your plastic components a magnificent shine, a silky matt look or a nuanced colour appearance – environmentally friendly and harmless to health without the use of chromium (VI) and nickel.
Depending on your design and value requirements, we use environmentally friendly lacquer or PVD coatings. Our innovative processes offer you a wide range of design options: from a high-gloss chrome look to elegant, silk-matt surfaces and individually coordinated colours.
The lacquer coatings we use are characterised by their high resistance and flexibility, while the PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coatings guarantee outstanding abrasion resistance and durability. Both processes are not only environmentally friendly, but also safe for health, as they do not use harmful chemicals such as chromium (VI) and nickel.
