It refers to a process of electroplating the surface of plastic products with pearl chromium plating. This process is often used to improve the appearance quality and protect the performance of product.
Satin Chromium Plating Process over Plastic
It is a process that deposits a layer of satin nickel on the surface of plastic product by the electrochemical method.
This usually consists of steps such as surface pretreatment, pre-plating treatment, electroplating and post-treatment.
First,the plastic surface is cleaned and activated through chemical to form a uniform coating on the plastic.
Then,apply a layer of conductive coating on the surface,and then immerse the product in a plating solution tank containing metal ions.
Under the action of current, the metal ions are reduced and deposited on the plastic surface to form a metal coating.
Finally, post-processing processes such as polishing, cleaning, drying, etc. are performed to obtain the desire surface gloss and texture.

Satin chrome and brushed chrome are generally very similar, but brushed chrome always has the finish of brush lines across the product. Some satin chrome products have more of a matt appearance, but without the brush marks. Brushed chrome should look like a chrome finish, which has been brushed.
