        WHY DOES TECLAC PAINT MANUALLY?

        Prototypes, the most demanding challenges and the most exclusive small series vehicles require a highly individualised but professional surface finish. At TECLAC, we draw on our experience in series painting and develop the most favourable solution for the customer, even for the smallest series volumes in the automotive and non-automotive sectors.

        ADVANTAGES OF MANUAL PAINTING:

        • High-quality painting results can be realised for presentation or representation purposes
        • Small series through to individual items technically and financially feasible
        • Coating of different substrates from plastic to metal possible
        • Processing of a wide range of paint materials and paint structures possible
        • Technical centre can be used efficiently to develop suitable coating solutions for customer-specific product requirements

        PRODUCT INNOVATION LIQUID CHROME

        Chrome replacement coatings are an established alternative to conventional chrome plating. TECLAC provides the desired lustre with this innovative product.
        WHY LIQUID CHROME?

        Liquid Chrome is more than just one innovation among many – it is revolutionising the field of chrome plating! While the use of conventional chromium trioxide (chromium VI) has been restricted since 21 September 2017, Liquid Chrome offers an innovative and sustainable solution that is not only environmentally friendly but also extremely versatile.

        What makes Liquid Chrome so special?

        With Liquid Chrome, TECLAC opens up completely new possibilities for chrome-like surfaces in the interior and exterior of vehicles. The pioneering technology not only offers the look of real chrome, but also goes far beyond this in its wide range of possible applications.

        THE ADVANTAGES OF LIQUID CHROME

        • Wide range of colour variations according to the OEM’s design ideas
        • Environmentally friendly: completely free of heavy metals
        • Excellent corrosion protection
        • Can be used flexibly on a wide variety of plastic surfaces
        • High elasticity of the surface for a durable and robust application
        Liquid Chrome is not just an alternative – it is the future of decorative surface design!
