Sustainable metallization with chrome and indium:
Sensational reflections combined with color, design, and real chrome looks are the latest trends from KURZ. The incredible design variations offered by indium-based metallization can even be seamlessly and precisely transferred to components up to 1,000 mm wide. Indium has another advantage: It is particularly suitable for Shy Tech designs and 5G technology. Backlighting provides additional orientation and design highlights.
Metallization
Efficient and sustainable
A 360° solution partner incorporates sustainability right from the start. KURZ and its partners are continuously developing the value chain. Our IMD process is no exception here:
- The one-stop process reduces CO2 consumption in production
- Metallization is carried out in a dry process using wafer-thin indium decorative layers, THE environmentally friendly alternative to electroplating
- The quality remains the same, even for large series
- The decoration does not impair the recyclability of the components
- The process is ideal for the use of recycled materials
What's so special about indium- and chrome-based metallization?
- THE environmentally friendly alternative to electroplating
- Unlimited design freedom: Patterns and colors are just as possible as a real chrome look, glossy, matte, semi-matte, and brushed surfaces
- Supports autonomous driving technologies
- Backlighting-capable, ideal for Shy Tech designs and touch operation
- Environmentally friendly alternative to electroplating
- Can be used in large or small applications
- Efficient IMD series process (indium) and hot stamping (chrome)
- Suitable for different types of plastic: ABS, PC/ABS, ASA, PP, PA12
- Can be used for recycled materials
- Chromium and indium are REACH compliant and therefore not subject to authorization in the EU
- The metallized components can be easily recycled
