FAQ

Chrome plating additive questions.

What are chrome plating additives?

Chrome plating additives are chemistry products used to support bath performance, catalyst control, appearance, efficiency, and surface characteristics in decorative and hard chrome plating operations.

What is the difference between hard chrome and decorative chrome?

Decorative chrome is typically used for appearance and surface finish, while hard chrome is used for functional performance such as durability, wear resistance, and service life.

What is a chrome catalyst?

A chrome catalyst is used to support plating bath performance and maintain the chemistry balance required for consistent chrome deposition.

What do mist eliminators do in chrome plating?

Mist eliminators are additives designed to reduce the surface tension of chrome plating solutions, helping control misting and improve bath operation.

Does Ronatec support both organic and fluoride chrome systems?

Yes. Ronachrome includes fluoride-based hard chrome products, organic-based hard chrome systems, decorative chrome products, and general-use chrome bath additives.
