Snap & Button Finished with AcroPlating® Technology

While electroplating is known for its superior decorative appearance and excellent corrosion resistance, the use of this technology is not without its challenges. The process uses large amounts of water and electricity, as well as hazardous substances (our wastewater treatment and discharge meets all local standards and legal regulations). To address these issues, YKK has developed AcroPlating® finishing technology, an innovative technology that does not require the use of hazardous substances, such as cyanogen and chromium. This new, sustainable finishing process also conserves water and electricity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
