Use of our Bright Film ABS sheet allows manufacturers to produce Chrome ABS parts without the need for
post forming chrome plating. Bright Film ABS sheet is significantly better for the environment and health
& safety too, as there is no exposure to the chemicals associated with chrome plating ABS.
Fluorex® Bright film provides a chrome finish to plastic parts (in the same way Fluorex® paintfilms
provide colours and patterns). The product is used on ABS substrates (can also be TPOs) to create an
extraordinary finish. Various OEM’s have approved the product for many uses for the automotive and
electronic markets. In addition to the Bright Film ABS sheet that we stock for Chrome ABS parts, there
are alternative finishes available including; black chrome, matt chrome and brushed chrome.
The Bright Film ABS is a capped product. The Fluorex® Bright film laminated to the ABS that creates the
finish, is itself a relatively thin, though highly robust, foil. This construction does need to be born
in mind when considering applications, particularly concerning draw depth and contour details
(processing guide available). The beauty of the Bright Film ABS sheet of course is not only the
excellent Chrome ABS finish, but the fact that there is no need for secondary or sub-contract operations
to create the finish. This reduces lead times, waste and therefore cost.
Our Bright Film ABS sheet has outstanding properties. Chrome ABS parts produced from this have
excellent durability – weather, chemical and chip resistance. In addition they are considerably
better for the environment and outstandingly cost effective. Product bulletin and performance guides
are available.
