Adhesion topcoat for chrome and difficult metals P760

Description:

The Chrome Topcoat is a colourless, transparent gloss primer and the only product that guarantees adhesion on chrome*.

It requires no prior surface treatment (such as Derinoxalu) or sanding.

It also performs exceptionally well on other hard-to-adhere surfaces such as polished or bare metals, including stainless steel, galvanised steel, and aluminium, without altering the appearance.

The Chrome Topcoat is completely colourless, invisible, waterproof, chemical-resistant, and UV-resistant.

Destination:

This product provides both adhesion and protection.

It can be used as a finishing clear coat, but is most commonly applied as a colourless adhesion promoter.

(*Note: this refers to ultra-hard galvanised chrome-plated metal surfaces that cannot be abraded. The Chrome Topcoat is not intended for use over chrome-effect paints or silver coatings.)

Use:

Ready-to-use, single-component product — pre-thinned for direct application.

Flammable, solvent-based formula.

Apply to a clean surface, preferably using a spray gun, in one or two thin coats (approx. 10 μm dry film per coat).

Coverage: 10–12 m²/L

Curing: Full adhesion properties are achieved after 48–72 hours of drying.

Temperature resistance: up to 300°C

Tested: 240°C for 40 minutes — no blistering, cracking, or blackening observed.

A thin application is recommended for optimal heat resistance.

Recoating times:

• Wet-on-wet application: within 5 minutes maximum

• Beyond that, recoating can be done at any time after light sanding with an abrasive sponge

Is adhesion to chrome guaranteed?

In general, SILAX adheres directly to chrome, but results may vary as there are also alloys such as nickel-chrome, cobalt-chrome, titanium-chrome, etc.

Our SILAX primer is perfectly suited to the most commonly used chrome plating on the market, but it should be noted that for different alloys, it is preferable to recommend adhesion tests.  For important applications, we always recommend testing. These are very special products that are applied to difficult surfaces using different application methods, and it is recommended to ensure their effectiveness.
