Trivalent Chrome
Trivalent chrome is decorative chrome plating. Trivalent chrome provides scratch and corrosion resistance in various colour options. Trivalent chrome is considered the environmentally friendly alternative to hexavalent chromium.
KM TRI-CHROME BLACK CSM II
BLACK TRIVALENT CHROMIUM PLATING PROCESS
Description
KM TRI-CHROME BLACK CSM provides the black colour trivalent chrome deposit. The colour can be adjusted from light smoky to deep dark black colour.
KM TRI-CHROME BLACK CSM has excellent metal distribution and eliminates burning and whitewash.
KM TRI-CHROME BLACK CSM has excellent plating speed.
Equipment
Tanks: PVC, PVC
Heater: Quartz
Anode: Special graphite anode
Anode Hangers: Special titanium hangers
Buss Bar: Nickel plated copper bar
Ion Exchanger/Resin: Consult Kemia
Air Agitation: Uniform mild air agitation is recommended. High air agitation will reduce coverage while low air agitation can result in uneven metal distribution. Air must be provided from an oil free blower
Ampere-hour Meter: Products addition to bath solution and made by ampere-hour. An automatic metering pump for the KM TRI-CHROME CSM CATALYST 30 is usually recommended
Rectifier: 12 or 15 volt rectifiers with less than 10% ripple are normally recommended
