You are here:Home About IonbondNews Take your automotive design to the next level with Ionbond 28 October 2021 Chrome-plated design elements have defined the look and feel of luxury automobiles for over a century. However, these days, designers have more color options to make their designs stand out and convey a sense of premium, modern-day quality. With coatings based on physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology, the available color range expands beyond chrome to black, anthracite, and even gold and earth tones. Even on plastic parts, these coatings deliver the metallic look and feel that car lovers worldwide expect. This makes PVD coatings an excellent alternative to chrome electroplating, especially since the process doesn’t use the toxic element hexavalent chromium (Cr6+), which will be phased out in Europe in the next few years.
