Decorative Plating - Chrome Brightener Systems
Decorative Hexavalent Chrome Plating is used for tarnish resistance, scratch and wear resistance, and for its high reflectivity. Heatbath® proprietary Chrome Catalysts increase plating speeds and produce harder deposits with better coverage. The resultant plated surfaces are a pleasing blue-white color with less iridescence and staining. Other advantages of our Chrome Brightener Systems include a higher tolerance to impurities, less sensitivity to current interruptions and ease of plating on passive surfaces.
Product Name | Process | Description |
Chrome Catalyst 501 | Hexavalent Chromium Additive - Decorative | A liquid catalyst additive for decorative chrome brightener systems designed for exceptional covering power. Used to increase cathode current efficiencies and operational current densities without staining. |
Chrome Catalyst 550 | Hexavalent Chromium Additive - Functional | A powdered catalyst additive for hard chrome brightener systems. Provides brighter and harder deposits. Increases efficiencies and operational current densities. Non-staining. |
CAMS | Chromic Acid Mist Suppressant | Used to reduce chromic acid emissions through the development of a foam blanket on the surface of the working bath. Reduces surface tension, thereby reducing drag-out. This additive is very beneficial for complying with new hexavalent chromium OSHA exposure regulations. |
