Proven High-Tech Coatings

Before examining some of the newer, high-tech coatings, it is useful to recall that the old, reliable coatings like hard chrome or nickel plating may be the way forward. One advantage of hard chrome is that it has a hardness of 72 Rockwell C (RC) and applied at low temperature of 130 F. When used in its purest form, it gives you finish your SPI tool.

Hard chrome plating is often a good choice for electrical switch dies because they use materials that contain no less than 40% of the glass. It can be used to combat erosion and to avoid extremely destructive to the door and the surrounding areas of mold, usually we recommend high gloss diamond-hard chromium plating is 0.0003 - inch 0005

The disadvantage can be profitable because the chromium is limited to areas accessible via an anode. If your pan has complex details, that may require a second corresponding anode that adds time and cost of the project. Another possible disadvantage is the impact of chromium on the environment, chromium is carcinogenic. Some companies try to develop better, "cleaner" alternatives, but so far we are not aware of anything that matches the benefits of hard chromium from a perspective of the tool.

Just as hard chrome, electroless nickel has been used successfully for years, especially to protect the mussels, where corrosive gas evolution is made of materials such as PVC and halogenated flame retardants. It is not unusual to see such a resin to produce a rust orange, corrode the unprotected form almost right before your eyes. Products oath mold materials for the electronics industry or medical often cannot tolerate the presence of oxidation byproducts.
