The part stays light and corrosion-free underneath, but the surface has the bright, reflective finish buyers expect on grilles, emblems and trim.<\/p><p class=\"lede\">Chrome plating plastic parts this way gives the bright metal look at a fraction of the weight of metal. Most of what we plate is chrome plated ABS, finished with trivalent chrome plating.<\/p><div class=\"prose\"><p>Plastic does not conduct electricity, so it cannot go straight into a chrome bath like steel. The surface is first etched and given a thin chemical metal layer. After that, copper, nickel and chrome are built up by electroplating. The result is a layered coating where each metal has a job: copper levels the surface, nickel gives brightness and corrosion resistance, and chrome gives the final color and hardness.<\/p><\/div><\/div><aside class=\"kf\"><p class=\"kh\">Key facts<\/p><dl><div><dt>28-tank<\/dt><dd>Chrome plating line<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>\u226532 \u03bcm<\/dt><dd>Chrome total layer build<\/dd><\/div><div><dt>CASS 48 h<\/dt><dd>No blistering on chrome<\/dd><\/div><\/dl><a href=\"\/contact\/\">Request a quote \u2192<\/a><\/aside><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class=\"w\" id=\"how-chrome-plating-on-abs-works\"><div class=\"c\"><span class=\"eb\">03 \u2014 Explainer<\/span><h2>How Chrome Plating on ABS&nbsp;Works<\/h2><p class=\"lede\">Our line plates parts on racks moved automatically by a gantry between 28 tanks.
