COVENTYA R&D teams’ main role is to anticipate market requirements and provide customers with solutions that enable them to face various environmental challenges, preferably ahead of any legal regulations coming into force.For the last two decades the company’s R&D activities have been targeted at removing or replacing harmful chemicals such as cyanides and Chrome (VI) from our processes – and encouraging our customers to do likewise.
This article provides an overview of COVENTYA’s latest environmentally-sound technologies aimed at the decorative field – including Plating on Plastics (POP). We are proud to announce that with products such as SILKEN BOND (the first Chrome-free etch not to metalize racks), SILKEN METAL 703 (a highly stable third generation Electroless Nickel), EMERALD (a boric acid-free Electroless Nickel process), TRISTAR 300 and TRISTAR 330 AF (decorative trivalent chromium processes), and TRISTAR SHIELD (a newly developed Chrome (VI)-free post-treatment) our customers can set up a complete Chrome (VI) free line for plastic metallization.
