Quality: our checks
The electro-deposits made on our plant respect the market characteristics with regard to the thickness and strength of the piece. In fact, metallic chromium has a high surface passivity, to ensure that the coating is suitable for countless applications both for aesthetic destinations (furniture, lamps, perfumery) and for technical and functional pieces where the required resistances are higher (plumbing, electrical, household appliances). Below are the range of values relative to the average thicknesses deposited, by finish:
| Finish | Gold (μm) | Chrome (μm) | Nickel (μm) | Copper (μm) |
| Polished Chrome | - | 0,15 ÷ 0,40 | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Satin Chrome | - | 0,15 ÷ 0,40 | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Polished Nickel | - | - | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Double Polished Nickel | - | - | 12 ÷ 20 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Satin Nickel | - | - | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Polished Gold | 0,01 ÷ 0,03 | - | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
| Satin Gold | 0,01 ÷ 0,03 | - | 7 ÷ 12 | 12 ÷ 20 |
Tests performed internally:
Thickness measurement by non-destructive test (Fischerscope X-ray);
Thermal shock resistance in two modes:
- Standard test: which consists in subjecting the sample to 3 alternating cycles of 15 minutes at 80°C and 15 minutes at 20°C;
- Advanced test: the cycles contain temperatures that reach even -40 ° C .
Corrosion resistance: Neutral salt spray (Minimum 200 hours guaranteed) and acetic acid salt spray (Minimum 72 hours guaranteed).
Drop test: Chemical resistance test according to NF EN 263 point 4.4, with Acetic Acid, Ethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Hypochlorite, Methylene Blue.
