Trivalent Chrome Plating
Trivalent Chromium Plating for Plastic Parts
Today, industrial parts manufacturers can make their products more competitive in the marketplace by using a variety of surface treatments. This capability enables designers of some plastic components to alter or modify specific exterior qualities, such as electrical conductivity, texture, color, and more. Frequently, companies choose to apply several surface treatments during the finishing stage in order to produce plastic parts meeting specific objectives. Trivalent chromium plating has become a widely-used surface treatment in some industries.

Trivalent Chromium Plating Process over Plastic
Typically, trivalent chromium electroplating solutions rely upon either chloride or sulfate-based electrolytes. The process of trivalent chromium electroplating usually requires several steps between chemical treatment and electroplating process. Variations exist in production technologies.Usually,our production line must first thoroughly clean a work piece to remove debris and grease. Depending upon the composition of the part,we’ll apply one or more pretreatments. For instance,we first electroplate parts with nickel prior to applying decorative chromium plating.
What Is The Difference Between Trivalent Chrome And Hexavalent Chrome?
Trivalent plating produces at least five percent fewer rejects than hexavalent plating. You’ll save money on scrap metal and can plate more parts in the trivalent bath, which will increase production. Trivalent plating also boasts: Fewer toxic fumes than hexavalent plating.
