APC's President, Richard Macary, and Director of Quality, Dishant Tailor, will be kicking off the SUR/FIN 2019 technical conference with their paper, "Black Chrome Finishing - Beauty and the Beast." This very first paper presentation of the conference is part of the Automotive: Innovative Decorative Finishes session to be held on:

Monday, June 3, 2019 • 8:30 AM - 9:00 AM • Meeting Room 2

Abstract
Black chrome plating has been commercially available for over 50 years. The original black chrome plating is described in Mil-Std 14538 which deposits black chromium from a hexavalent chrome electrolyte.  

Over the past 10 years there has been commercial development of black chromium deposits from a trivalent chrome electrolyte. This paper will review the deposit characteristics and operational consideration of these similar, but different chrome plating deposits.

Aluminum Anodizing
Type II and Type III
As the demand for longer lasting, more durable and aesthetically pleasing coatings increases,  aluminum   anodizing  for automotive applications continues to skyrocket. At APC, we provide knowledge-based, process manufacturing that goes far beyond the anodizing lin e. 

Our fully automated, 5,000 sq. ft. line produces conventional and  hardcoat  anodizing with high pH sealants and organic die coloring capabilities. Offering bright dip and satin finish applications, the rack line meets pH 13.0 automotive industry requirements for exterior trim applications.
Our acid copper plating and buff operations, often followed by decorative nickel-chrome, are managed by surface finishing industry veteran, APC Technical Director, Chuck Runyan. See Chuck in action!
