Accessories Chrome plating Mirror plating

Here you will find all polishing accessories and abrasives from WT-Direct GmbH. Chrome plating of plastic Chrome paint makes it possible to chrome-plate plastic. Unlike conventional chrome-plating methods, this is generally cheaper and more environmentally friendly. With our new mirror-polishing technology, you can even do it at home: DIY chrome plating is now possible. Mirror coating technology prices A good entry point is the CLC Light low-pressure mirror coating unit. This is available from €1,650.00 plus VAT and includes a low-pressure gun, four pressure vessels, and a set of concentrates. A complete unit with trolley, spray guns, etc., starts at €5,999.00 plus VAT and leaves nothing to be desired in terms of price. If you only have individual parts to be mirrored, it makes more economic sense to outsource this to a service provider. Contact us. Basic principle of water transfer printing Water transfer printing is essentially the same principle as we all know from decals, but at a correspondingly sophisticated, high technical level. The printed film is placed face down on the water, where it softens and becomes pliable within a short time. The activator fluid, finely sprayed on with a spray gun, accelerates the process and initiates the dissolution of the carrier film. The pure color particles remain floating on the water's surface.

Ion exchanger 7200 incl. conductivity meter The 7200 ion exchanger, including measuring device, is a high-performance demineralization system for producing fully demineralized water – for example, for mirror plating, cleaning processes, laboratory technology, or industrial applications. The included conductivity meter enables precise, real-time monitoring of water quality. Advantages 💧 Ultrapure water quality – complete demineralization for perfect mirroring results & technical applications 📊 Includes conductivity meter – live measurement of water resistance for reliable quality 🔁 Replacement system – cartridge/resin easily replaceable or regenerable when exhausted 🚿 Directly connectable – with standard connections, ready for immediate use 🔒 Safe technology – stable container, no overflow when used correctly 📦 Compact – despite high capacity, space-saving and mobile. Features Capacity: up to 7200 liters at 10 °dH (depending on water hardness) Filling: Mixed bed ion exchange resin (cationic + anionic) Housing: robust plastic container with screw cap & vent Connection: e.g. ¾″ Gardena compatible or hose nozzle Conductivity meter: LCD display, warning tone when limit value is exceeded, battery operated Applications: Glass coating, electroplating, mirroring, cleanroom, laboratory, technology Description The 7200 ion exchanger is ideally suited for producing fully demineralized water for technical or decorative purposes – e.g., in mirroring technology, glass finishing, or laboratory processes. With a theoretical capacity of approximately 7200 liters at 10 °dH, it reliably covers even medium to large consumption levels. The mixed-bed resin consists of cationic and anionic resin. This combination removes both positively charged (e.g., calcium, magnesium) and negatively charged ions (e.g., chloride, sulfate) from tap water. The result: ultrapure water with extremely low conductivity – ideal for sensitive applications. The included conductivity meter allows you to monitor water quality at all times. The digital display shows the current µS/cm value and warns you if limits are exceeded. This way, you can recognize in good time when a resin change or regeneration is necessary. Thanks to its robust design and simple connection options, the ion exchanger can be flexibly used in production lines, workshops, or mobile workstations. Especially in applications like chemical silvering, fully demineralized water is essential – even small residues can lead to stains or adhesion problems. The 7200 ion exchanger ensures professional standards in these applications. ⚗️
