At Nexams Manufacturing Company, we specialize in Chrome Plating, a finishing process that applies a layer of chromium to a substrate, typically metal, to enhance both its aesthetic appeal and corrosion resistance. This technique is widely used in various industries due to its ability to provide a bright, reflective finish that is not only visually appealing but also durable. Chrome plating is often employed in automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods applications, providing a protective barrier that extends the life of components while improving their overall appearance.

Â
Medical Equipment
Roto molding is utilized to manufacture medical devices and storage solutions that require both durability and compliance with stringent hygiene standards. Products such as medical storage bins and equipment housings are designed to withstand rigorous use in healthcare environments.
Agricultural Products
This process efficiently produces durable items for agricultural applications, including fertilizer tanks, watering containers, and feed bins. These products are specifically engineered to endure harsh outdoor conditions while maintaining their structural integrity.
HVAC Components
Rotational molding is ideal for creating components used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, such as ducts and housings. The lightweight yet sturdy parts produced enhance overall system efficiency and performance.
Sports Equipment
A variety of sports equipment is manufactured using roto molding, including kayaks, helmets, and protective gear. The flexibility in design combined with material strength ensures that these products meet the rigorous demands of various sports activities.
Hard Chrome Plating:
Description: This type is applied to enhance the surface hardness and wear resistance of components. It typically involves a thicker layer of chromium.
Applications: Commonly used in industrial applications, such as hydraulic cylinders, machine components, and tooling, where durability is crucial.
Decorative Chrome Plating:
Description: A thinner layer of chrome is applied primarily for aesthetic purposes, providing a bright, reflective finish.
Applications: Often used in automotive parts, household fixtures (like faucets), and consumer products to enhance visual appeal.
Electrolytic Chrome Plating:
Description: In this method, an electric current is used to deposit chromium onto the substrate from a solution of chromium salts. This is the most common method for both hard and decorative chrome plating.
Applications: Utilized in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing.
Chrome Conversion Coating:
Description: A chemical process that creates a thin layer of chromium oxide on the surface, enhancing corrosion resistance without the thickness of traditional chrome plating.
Applications: Used in applications where minimal weight is essential, such as aerospace components and lightweight machinery.
Trivalent Chrome Plating:
Description: A more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hexavalent chrome plating, trivalent chrome offers similar aesthetics and corrosion resistance.
Applications: Commonly used in automotive and consumer products where environmental compliance is a priority.
Flash Chrome Plating:
Description: This involves a very thin layer of chrome, primarily for decorative purposes, applied over a base of nickel.
Applications: Often used in decorative items and small components where cost-effectiveness is important.
Chrome Plating with Nickel Undercoat:
Description: A nickel layer is applied first to enhance adhesion and corrosion resistance, followed by a layer of chrome.
Applications: Used in automotive and industrial applications to combine durability with aesthetics.
Vacuum Chrome Plating:
Description: A method that applies chrome in a vacuum environment, allowing for a uniform coating with minimal waste.
Applications: Often used for decorative components in the electronics and automotive industries.
Enhanced Aesthetics:
Chrome plating provides a bright, mirror-like finish that improves the appearance of components, making them visually appealing for consumer products and automotive parts.
Corrosion Resistance:
The chromium layer acts as a protective barrier against environmental factors, significantly enhancing the corrosion resistance of the substrate.
Durability:
Chrome-plated surfaces are hard and resistant to wear, extending the life of components and reducing maintenance costs.
Easy Cleaning:
The smooth, shiny surface of chrome plating makes it easier to clean and maintain, ensuring that products remain attractive over time.
Improved Surface Hardness:
Chrome plating increases the surface hardness of components, making them more resistant to scratches and dents.
Versatility:
Chrome plating can be applied to a wide variety of materials and shapes, making it suitable for numerous applications across different industries.
Automotive Parts:
Commonly used on bumpers, grilles, and wheels to enhance appearance and protect against corrosion.
Aerospace Components:
Used for parts that require high strength and resistance to wear and environmental factors.
Consumer Goods:
Applied to products such as faucets, household appliances, and decorative items for aesthetic appeal.
Industrial Equipment:
Used to coat tools and machinery components, providing wear resistance and longevity.
Hardware:
Applied to locks, handles, and other hardware items to improve durability and appearance.
Electronics:
Used for decorative finishes on electronic devices, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.
