Chromium

Chrome finishes are used for decorative applications indoors and outdoors and can be deposited from hexavalent or trivalent electrolytes. The coatings are the finish on nickel-plated surfaces and feature an attractive bright colour, hardness and corrosion resistance. For layer thicknesses >25µm, the term “hard chrome” is used. There is no alternative to these coatings for wear protection, e.g. in hydraulics.

Chrome is used for:

plating on plastics (POP), decorative and functional metal finishes (GMF)
