​

  • DyCLAD--

    • Very thin Coating thickness (.0001")--thus, does not change the part dimension.   

    • Hardness of 70Rc

    • Superior bond strength.

    • Less friction & tremendous wear resistance--up to 47% improvement.​​​​

​

  • DyCro-Tuff--

    • This specialty coating offers hybrid chemical polymer impregnated into the hard chrome electro-plating.  

    • The polymer fills-in the micro-crack structure of the chrome, and provides a mirror-like finish and  extended tool life for your molds, tools, etc. 

​

  • DyCOTE-C--

    • Special cleaning process along with "engineered-chrome" which allows for improved part release from the mold while providing enhanced tool life to the tool.
