Chrome-plated plastic parts uniquely combine the positive properties of injection molded parts with the high-quality appearance of a metal surface. The following are examples of the advantages:
Advantages of injection molded parts:
– Production without post-processing
– Low weight
– Integration of functional elements
Advantages of metal surface
– High-quality metallic appearance
– Cool touch
– High resistance to many media, abrasion and aging
– Day-night design
Of course, the metal layer is also electrically conductive. This gave the KTB developers the idea that it should be possible to give the metal surface a function. Today, the operation of devices by touch screens is a technical standard. Couldn’t chrome parts be produced in such a way that they have a touch function?
ChromTouch® is the result of this development. Chrome parts can now also be used as control devices. It is conceivable to control ambient lighting directly at the component where the light emerges. Other possible applications range from the control of air conditioning and heating systems to window regulators.
