Black chrome
Corrosion protective surfaces
High demands are placed on the surfaces of high-quality consumer goods.
Advantages:
- has proven itself in many sectors
- allows for a number of different decorative effects (from matt to high-gloss)
- provides maximum value in terms of hardness, heat and corrosion resistance
- is resistant to tarnishing
- allows for lighter and darker surfaces
- is suitable for steel, brass, copper, aluminium, stainless steel, sintered metal and die casting
- Post-treatment for black chrome ensures a deep black, wipeproof and non-abrasive surface.
The surface structure can be influenced by appropriate mechanical processing of the unfinished part. Black chrome baths create a thick, porous and hard film of 2-4 µm. Special emulsions are added to provide the coating with a deep-black, silky finish.
Areas of application (examples):
- Automobile interiors
- Locks, metal fittings and handles for the furniture industry
- Components for the optical industry
As a supplier to the optical industry, noble finishes for light and black chrome as well as customer-specific surfaces are the norm for us.
