THE
LUX-PROCESS

We call our chemical smoothing process the Lux-process. Our process liquifies the outer layer of the plastic parts and allows it to arrange newly, so that it features afterwards a shiny surface. Depending on duration an repetitions of the treatment additionally also a macroscopic smoothing of the surface texture is possible. The stronger the treatment, the stronger also the herewith related loss of detailed features at the part.
