The process of applying a mirror like metallic coating, with extended reflective properties and based on �the silver mirror reaction�, is carried out in a number of stages. First of all, the surface is coated with a layer of binding primer (binder), which is reactive to the applied metallic layer. Hereafter, using the �META-CHROME� metallization equipment, the binder-coated surface is sprayed with specially prepared chemicals, which, as a result of a chemical reaction, form the snow-white, mirror like metallic layer. After that, the metallic coating is covered with a layer of protective lacquer, which protects it from fading and mechanical wear and tear. Once the protective lacquer has dried out, the metallic coating looks exactly as if it was applied using the electroplating method.

This process of applying a mirror like metallic coating using chemical metallization is not hard, and is easily compatible with the technological process of any industrial manufacturing unit. Manufacturers who have implemented this technology can diversify production, and in doing so can significantly increase their profitability. This is due to the cost of the machine and the required chemicals, in comparison with to the cost of similar coating technologies, being significantly lower.

• Ease of use: The process of chemical metallization is not complicated, and is similar to spray painting, which makes it possible to metallize items of any size and shape; from cell phone handsets to large marble statues.
• Coating of practically any material: Practically any material, even very porous materials such as wood, polymers, plastic, ceramic etc, can be coated in this way with a mirror like, highly reflective metallic layer.
• High level of hardness and durability of the coating: After the hardening of the protective lacquer, the coating has highly functional properties and is harder and more durable than the protective lacquer coating that is applied to a car in a factory.
• No dimensional limits for metalized items:Unlike cathode electroplating or vacuum metallization, where the size of the processed item is limited and dependent on the size of the tank or the size of the vacuum chamber, there are no such limits with the process of chemical metallization.
• Possibility to choose the desired tint: By adding pigmented toner to the protective lacquer, you can achieve the desired tint or color of the metallic coating, including the finishes of metals such as chrome, gold, copper, bronze, brass, and many others.
• High profitability: Chemically metalized surfaces cost 25-30% less than surfaces processed using the widely popular electroplating process.
• Eco friendly coating: Chrome salt, and as a result the technology is very eco-friendly and does not harm the environment.
