Stainless steel Coloration using the Polispectral® Process

DESCRIPTION

This is an electro chemical method which requires several phases of immersions. In this process a thin transparent chrome oxide layer (de 0.05 to 0.3 microns depending on the colour) is added onto the steel surface. Possible Colours: gold, bronze, black, blue, champagne, grey (only on polished finished).

This technique of coloration (which does not change the stainless steel original texture and structure) not only increases the product lifetime but also reduces its maintenance while offering a decorative range of choices.
