How to choose a reliable decorative chromium plating additive?

There are numerous types of decorative chromium plating additives available on the market, and their performance quality and electroplating effects vary greatly. So, how can we choose a relatively reliable decorative chromium plating additive?

1. Chromium plating additives with high fluorine content must not be used. Due to the high requirements for the selection of raw materials and large usage of chromium plating additives, the production cost is relatively high. Some additive suppliers, in order to win the market with low prices and reduce production costs, still use a large amount of fluorine-containing compounds. If such additives are used, it will cause serious low-zone corrosion, corrosion of titanium heating and cooling tubes, anode corrosion and other phenomena, which will cause relatively serious adverse effects in the production process. Therefore, before purchasing, we should first figure out whether the fluoride content is high or not. Otherwise, once it is added to the plating solution, the fluoride will be very difficult to remove, thus causing irreparable losses.

2. For decorative chromium plating processes, additives with good dispersion and coverage capabilities should be selected to ensure that the low-current area of the workpiece has good brightness. Through independent research and development, Bigle Technology has developed the decorative chromium plating additive Cr-9, which has excellent dispersion and coverage capabilities, a high tolerance for impurities, and a low production failure rate. In addition, it has a high current efficiency, can operate at a relatively high current density, has a fast coating deposition speed, high production efficiency, and can effectively reduce production costs.
