Cost pressures, weight and other considerations make the automobile industry loath to use solid materials, particularly in the small car sector. The high-gloss chromium-plating of plastic components is therefore becoming an increasingly popular method of enhancing the visual impact of automotive interiors. In combination with Berlac®’s highly-resistant Paint-over-chrome clear coat systems, which can be coloured to any shade required, standard chrome surfaces of this type can be given an individualised appearance with ease. A vast range of effects, from precious metal imitations through to an elegant black-chrome look, can now be generated in automated coating processes with no fluctuations in colour or consistency. In addition, Berlac® Paint-over-chrome clear lacquers ensure reliable protection from stone chips and corrosion for chromium-plated components fitted in critical exterior locations throughout the entire life of the vehicle.

Technological description.

Depending on how much wear is entailed by the application in question, Berlac® Paint-over-chrome clear lacquers can be applied either as a coloured one-coat system or as a primer together with a top coat. PUR systems with above-average chemical and physical resistance are available.
