Electroplating
Electroplating is a decoration process based on electrodeposition, used to apply a real metallic layer onto compatible polymers
After a specific surface preparation, the part is made electrically conductive and then immersed in different baths, where the metal is progressively deposited through an electric current. This process creates a homogeneous, durable and high-quality finish, with controlled coating thickness.
With more than 50 available finishes ; chrome, white bronze, silver, gold or special colors ; electroplating offers great aesthetic freedom while bringing the sensory qualities of metal: shine, color depth and a cold-touch effect.
It is particularly suitable for decorative and technical parts with high performance requirements. In the fragrance sector, it offers very good resistance to contact with perfume juices. It also meets the constraints of sectors such as home automation, automotive and high-tech, thanks to its resistance to scratches, wear and repeated handling.
Key features
Premium metallic sensory signature
Electroplating brings to polymer components the shine, depth and cold-touch feel of real metal, creating a premium sensory experience that is difficult to replicate with other decoration technologies.
Wide range of metallic finishes
With more than 50 available finishes — including chrome, white bronze, silver, gold and special colors — electroplating offers broad aesthetic freedom. Thanks to the use of real metals, it can faithfully reproduce the precious tones of gold, silver and other high-end metallic effects.
Ultra-thin metallic decoration
The process deposits an extremely thin decorative layer, down to the micron level, while ensuring a homogeneous, refined and durable finish on the component surface.
Long-lasting performance
Electroplated finishes are designed to resist usage constraints such as scratches, wear, repeated handling and, in fragrance applications, contact with perfume juices. They combine aesthetic excellence with technical performance.
Electroplating brings to polymer components the shine, depth and cold-touch feel of real metal, creating a premium sensory experience that is difficult to replicate with other decoration technologies.
