LEADING-EDGE SOLUTIONS<br />
IN GALVANIC TREATMENTS<br />
UNBEATABLE APPEARANCE<br />
The use of microcracked trivalent chromium improves the quality of the<br />
production process and thus the appearance of the finished item, giving it<br />
visual and tactile appeal and assuring shine and no flaws or porosity even<br />
in the most difficult-to-treat areas, such as welds. Major value-added<br />
compared to the industry standards and a big opportunity for our customers<br />
in a market increasingly aware of and responsive to products’ beauty and<br />
the processes used in their manufacture.<br />
MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT<br />
The technical and design strategies implemented in the new chromium<br />
coating plant, often sacrificing short-term financial interests for long-term<br />
gain, are clear proof of the company’s conviction that a quality product is<br />
an environment-friendly product. The chromium coating plant is unique of<br />
its kind in Italy and only the third in Europe. The entire plant is about 3,2<strong>00</strong><br />
square metres in area, has an acid-proof floor covering and is equipped with<br />
emergency spillage collection tanks. It is designed to provide completely<br />
safe, fume-free working environments, very low atmospheric emissions,<br />
and no effluents, since all wastewater is fully treated and recycled.<br />
With this innovative plant, the company takes a further step forward towards<br />
14<strong>00</strong>0/Emas certification, better known as environmental certification. It<br />
is an impressive target for the galvanic coating industry, normally closely<br />
associated with pollution.<br />
