Beware of Peeling Chrome on Dance Poles Before
You Buy

• Getting a pole dancing pole for your home is one
  of the most exciting and exhilarating parts of
  a pole dancing workout. The last thing you need
  to deal with is dance poles with peeling chrome.
• I accidentally bought a pole that had peeling
  chrome after a month of use and the peeling
  chrome cut my fingertips when I was dancing one
  it! Here is a video that shows you that pole

• When chrome peels (this effect is also called
  blistering chrome), it is always due to a
  manufacturing defect due to insufficient adhesion
  of the plating to the substrate.
• You may also hear chrome finishes being called
  different things like chrome plating chrome
  dipping chrome electroplating or chroming.
  There is no difference in all these terms they
  are all done through chrome electroplating.

• The chrome finishes are always applied to dance
  poles by electroplating to preserve the steel
  underneath and make the dance poles pretty,
  smooth, and usable.
• So you must be thinking, well if all the chrome
  is applied via electroplating then all chrome
  finishes on dance poles are the same
  right? WRONG!
• There are two different general applications for
  chrome plating. There is hard chrome plating
  which is also called engineering chrome plating
  or functional chrome plating and nickel-chrome
  plating which is sometimes called decorative
  chrome plating.

• Hard Chrome Plating is something you would find
  in hydraulics or mechanical parts. Its not
  something us dancers would be very familiar with
  unless you are a vehicle mechanic.
• Nickel-chrome plating or decorative chrome
  plating is what you find on dance poles for your
  home. It is a thin barrier over the steel in
  which dance poles are constructed that provides a
  brilliant, smooth finish. It is also used on
  wheels and car bumpers as well. Both X Poles and
  the Pro Quality Pole Dancing Poles are steel
  construction.
• Just like anything, you can do a good job with
  good quality materials, or you can do a bad job
  with good quality materials. If the nickel-chrome
  plating is applied too thin or with bad adhesion,
  the peeling can result.

• Im sure you have seen at least one car driving
  down the road and it looked like the clear coat
  on their paint was peeling off. This is due to
  poor adhesion between the base paint color and
  the top clear coat. Chrome plating is the same
  concept, good adhesion is key for a quality
  chrome dance pole finish.
• These days, many companies and manufacturers are
  under quite a bit of pressure from us consumers
  to produce quality products for cheaper prices.
  As consumers, we just want a good deal. And if we
  can get an expensive item for a good deal than
  even better .. right?

• The downslope is that a consumers stubbornness
  to pay for quality items puts an enormous amount
  of pressure on manufacturers to produce similar
  goods for cheaper prices. The main way to
  accomplish this is using lower quality materials
  that dont last as long or to give you less of
  something in the making of the product. For
  example, they will give you fewer layers of
  nickel-chrome electroplating to lower the cost of
  the pole. Also, in order to save money in labor
  costs, the manufacturer will take less time
  ensuring proper preparation of the steel to
  ensure proper adhesion when the chrome is applied.

• Think twice when you demand high quality for low
  cost. Perhaps there is truth in the you get what
  you pay for adage.
• In order to avoid buying dance poles that have
  chrome that may peel, do some research to
  understand the care taken to construct the pole
  itself. Also, understand the quality of the
  company you are buying from.
• As consumers, we hold the power to make a real
  difference in our world by choosing to buy good
  products. Purchasing good products (for perhaps a
  bit higher price) ensures that the care was taken
  to get quality. It also ensures that the people
  who sweat to construct your pole were paid better
  and perhaps under less pressure, again, resulting
  in better quality.

• I know there are overpriced items on the market
  and I am not suggesting that everyone pay more
  for everything, you should watch out for the
  overpriced scam as well.
• But what I am saying is to practice purchasing
  your goods consciously with the greater good in
  mind, while being aware of how your desire to get
  everything as cheap as possible can have a
  negative impact on you as a person and your
  environment.
