Profile: RB Chroming specializes in decorative chrome plating, polishing, powder coating and ceramic coatings. Chrome plating is a finishing treatment utilizing the electrolytic deposition of the element chromium. The most common form of chrome plating is the thin, decorative bright chrome, which is typically a 10 micron layer over an underlying nickel plate. It results in a mirror-like finish to items such as metal furniture frames and automotive trim. Thicker deposits, up to 1000 µm, are called hard chrome and are used in industrial equipment to reduce friction and wear and to restore the dimensions of equipment that have experienced wear. We have a wide range of colors, finishes, wrinkles, clears, flats, chrome and candy colors to choose from. Our powder coating is a durable finish that is typically applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a skin. The powder may be a thermoplastic or a thermoset polymer. It is usually used to create a hard finish that is tougher than conventional paint.
