Advantages of Clearclad |
 The main advantage is its
ability to apply a consistent thickness, especially over very complex shapes. As the
coatings is deposited it starts to insulate the part. As the coating builds up so
does its insulating properties, this allows the thickness in low current density areas to
catch up with the high current density areas. The thickness of the coating is
easily controlled by the applied voltage, and the thickness is uniform accross the
part. This is especially important when applying dyed finishes to simulates metals
etc. as it allows you to apply a constant colour to every part on every rack, everyday.
Other advantages: CLEARCLAD is an advantageous process for people using electroplating, either in order to enhance and protect the existing plated surface, or to eliminate plating partially or completely and apply a performance coating directly onto base metal or a simpler system of plated layers. For example, CLEARCLAD can effectively simulate brass plating on zinc die-castings by direct application to the zinc base metal, CLEARCLAD can simulate colored anodized finishes over aluminum and give the finisher more control over the final color. LVH offers a range of products which have appropriate properties for various applications.
