About our hard chrome plating rollers
Hard chrome gives a hard, wear-resistant, low-friction surface that transfers its finish to the film or sheet. Mirror finishes are used for glossy lamination and chill rolls; matt finishes give a matt product surface and reduce blocking.
Rollers are ground before and after plating to hold diameter and run-out, and can be built with internal channels for heating or chilling.
