Dual Cure Coatings for Plastics
The Ultimate Curing Mechanism for the Ultimate Scratch Resistance
UVeChrome (Chrome Effect) I High Gloss Piano Black I Clear
UVeChrome
It may not be exactly a knight…
but it certainly has a shining armour!
Specifically designed to maximise the long-term product performance of automotive plastic trim, FCS UVeChrome offers exceptional toughness and surface quality for the manufacture of visually appealing, metallic-looking robust components for both interior and exterior use.
UVeChrome combines two curing mechanisms to deliver performance and processing advantages for the manufacture of high specification, exquisite looking, automotive quality 3D components.
Whilst rapid UV curing provides enhanced scratch resistance and surface smoothness, the product’s ability to further continue its polymerisation process via thermal heat ensures complete shadow cure regardless of the complexity of component designs.
This unique feature helps eliminate the need for custom-made UV curing layout for varying component shapes, offering ease of production, versatility and reduced costs as well as supporting increased line speeds.
Colours & Effects
Beyond offering excellent long-term mechanical and chemical performance, UVeChrome can also be matched to a variety of metallic colours and effects.

Dual Cure Black & Clear Products
A “touch” above the rest.
Exceptional gloss retention on high-contact areas.
Applied in the same way as UVeChrome, our High Gloss Dual Cure Black and Dual Cure Clear Coatings meet the requirements of the harshest OEM abrasion tests, delivering exceptional gloss retention and surface smoothness. With their meticulously engineered formula, these products provide a true solution to daily wear and abrasion on high contact areas, such as control buttons, door pull handles, gear shift and central console.
FCS Dual Cure Coatings can be applied onto commonly used automotive plastics such as PC/ABS and ABS, and can also be used over specified FCS primers and basecoats to give adhesion to other substrates and to open up the range of design effects possible.
