The Original Thin Dense Chrome

Thin dense chrome (TDC) was formulated to solve the need for a protective coating that wouldn’t alter dimensions of precision components. Traditional hard chrome plating was often too thick, which impacts part performance in applications requiring exact tolerances.

The innovation behind TDC includes:

  • Enhanced wear and corrosion resistance without adding excessive thickness
  • Improved performance in extreme environments, including high temperatures and harsh conditions
  • Reduced friction for smoother operation and increased efficiency of moving parts
  • Extended component lifespan, minimizing maintenance needs and downtime
