Before production methods for plating plastic were developed along with special plastic materials for this purpose - called ABS plastic the only way to circumvent this problem was to first deposit a film, made of a conductive material, which would adhere well to both layers, and which was electrically conductive.
Satin chrome is sometimes referred to as matt chrome. We produce this finish in a wide range of textures and gloss levels. Satin chrome is generally plated with a layer of nickel prior to being chrome plated to provide a uniform finish and to enhance the performance of the finish. Satin chrome can also be produced directly without mechanical operations with sating nickel undercoat. Chrome is applied to a base.
