Hard chromium makes metal surfaces tough and smooth, but it’s toxic. MOZART EU Project is developing nickel-based nanocomposite coatings that match or exceed chromium’s strength, wear resistance, and corrosion protection — safely and sustainably.
Key Benefits:
Durability: Surfaces last up to 10x longer
Performance: Harder, smoother, corrosion-resistant
Applications: Aerospace, automotive, industrial tools
Sustainability: REACH-compliant, eco-friendly, fits existing plating systems
Why it matters: Stronger surfaces, longer lifespan, and greener production — all without hazardous chromium.
