Chromium plating of parts in St. Petersburg by catalytic chrome plating is very popular due to the presence of certain advantages.
The processes of obtaining shiny metallized coatings, which have a high ability to reflect, are based on the reduction reaction of silver in the form of a metal. This reaction has its own individual name - catalytic chromium plating . In its process, special equipment for chemical metallization is used, as well as special prepared chemical reagents, which allow applying a stronger glossy metal coating to various, including very porous materials.
Thus, wood, polystyrene, gypsum, ceramics, concrete, polyurethane, fiberglass and many others can obtain a glossy metal coating. That is why chrome plating of parts in St. Petersburg is so widespread today.
The process of applying beautiful metal coatings using the method of chemical metallization, or as it is also called the method of "catalytic chrome plating", takes place in several stages.
The main of these stages are :
- application of a special primer;
- spraying consistently special metal-containing chemical reagents. As a result of this action, a glossy metallized coating is formed on the surface of the products, which is highly reflective;
- applying a protective varnish.
After all the applied layers are dry, the coating takes on exactly the same appearance as in the classic galvanic chrome plating.
The advantages of catalytic chromium plating over its classic version are :
- the possibility of applying a special coating to almost any material. In this case, even a very porous material receives a mirror-like metallic coating with high reflectivity;
- the absence of any restrictions on the size of parts. So, unlike the classic chrome plating process, the size of the part is limited by the size of the vacuum chamber or bath. When using special installations, the size of the parts does not matter and is limited only by the size of the painting and drying booth in which the coatings will be applied and dried.
- the ability to select the desired shade, which is carried out by adding special pigment coloring toners to the protective varnish.
- rejection of the use of heavy metals and carcinogens, which makes it possible to call this process environmentally friendly and absolutely safe for humans.
Due to the presence of a large number of advantages, this chrome plating of parts in St. Petersburg is one of the most popular.
