Our materials offer the highest corrosion protection from the caliper through to the assembly of electronic components. Environmental legislation drives our innovation. Delivering compliant technology is critical for our global applicator base.
Surface treatments help to increase the lifespan of components such as strikers and latches. These coatings improve the quality and ultimate end-user experience. Specifying the correct protection helps to minimize warranty costs and mitigate the risk of field failure – ultimately, maintaining consistent and reliable performance.
Aluminum offers design freedom and the choice of self-color or chromium finishes. Natural aluminum finishes are preserved by a transparent conversion coating and lacquer. Chromium finishes are created using advanced adhesion techniques to ensure the plated layers last throughout the wheels natural life. esi automotive have developed the latest sustainable and compliant technology for both these finishing choices.
Most automotive body trim, grills, and mirrors are made from plastic substrates such as ABS and ABS alloys. To achieve the desired bright/satin chromium finish usually applied to these components they first need to be metalized. Today, more and more applicators are using MacDermid Enthone's ZERO chromium evolve plating on plastic and our decorative trivalent chromium plating solutions.
Our automotive solutions for decorative applications enable new design, versatility, and style.
MacDermid Enthone decorative coatings include processes that offer durability and long lasting beauty to a diversity of plastic and metals used to manufacture grills, door handles, bumpers, emblems, and much more.
The OEM approved, distinctive finishes and colors provide dynamic styling to meet demanding production and detailing requirements.
