Decorative chrome plating has the luster of bright nickel plating and the white metallic color of chrome due to the application of a thin chrome plating on top of the bright nickel plating. Because of its luster, it is often used for decorative purposes.
In addition, by plating chrome on the surface, it is possible to obtain corrosion resistance superior to nickel plating. So it is also used to compensate for the insufficient corrosion resistance of nickel plating.
We also support trivalent decorative chrome plating, which is hexavalent chromium-free, to meet the environmental regulations in the EU and other countries around the world.

Features
Features 1Excellent appearance
It gives a beautiful silvery white look that retains the luster of the glossy nickel plating.
It is a popular treatment that is used for many decorative and exterior parts.
Excellent corrosion resistance
The corrosion resistance of chrome can be increased by covering the surface with chrome plating.
Corrosion resistance is improved by forming an oxide film on the outermost surface of chrome plating, so its appearance is not easily degraded even when used for exterior packaging.
Safe and environmental friendly"Trivalent chromium plating"
We support environment-friendly trivalent chromium plating treatment that does not use hexavalent chromium, designated a regulated substance by the RoHS Directive et alia due to its negative impact on environmental and human health.
It has better precipitation efficiency and uniformity than the commonly used hexavalent decorative chrome plating and gives a beautiful silver-white film that is comparable in appearance to hexavalent decorative chrome.
Although it is inferior to hexavalent decorative chromium in terms of corrosion resistance, post-treatment can increase corrosion resistance to an equivalent level.
