Chrome Plating Chemicals Cost: Important Reality Check

Summary for chrome plating chemicals cost Discussion

Chrome plating chemicals cost is the central question here: Jerry Lee asks for a guideline cost per unit area and coating thickness for chrome plating hard plastic such as acrylic, because he is considering a factory producing 10,000 square meters of plastic mirrors per month to compete with glass mirrors. The reply does not give a cost figure. Instead, the responder asks Jerry to describe the exact technology he has in mind and says they doubt he would actually use electroless plating followed by nickel-chrome plating on acrylic. The responder also cautions that this approach may not be price-competitive with glass mirrors. The thread therefore ends with a warning that the process details matter and that the economics may be unfavorable, rather than with a direct chemical cost estimate.
