This Pinch Dog Collar was processed with the help of Herm Sprenger  new technique, called Chrome Plating. It is a technique of  electroplating a thin layer of chromium onto a metal article. Collars  that undergo this process, usually look more decorative, than  ordinary stainless steel. The chromed layer will provide corrosion  resistance for your collar, as well as ease cleaning procedures.  These collars will serve you and your dog for years.
  
  Why do these chains look so shiny and have such strong  surface?
  Whereas other manufacturers only dip the chains before galvanizing,  Sprenger uses a different procedure of mirror-bright polishing.  Dipping means to delete non-metallic unclean things like oil from  the chains. The metal becomes clear but has no surface polishing.  The advantage of Sprenger polishing is that the surface becomes much  smoother. Besides, it has this special bright shine.
  After tumbling, the chains are nickel or chrome plated. Nickel and  chrome baths are monitored permanently by a laboratory. Sprenger  examines the grip of the nickel layer through "bending" tests before  the chains are chromium plated. This collar consists only of welded  parts, that will serve your pet for a long time. All parts are  chromium plated, so it increases in its tensile strength.
