Columbia Chemical Displays Decorative Trivalent Plating
Columbia Chemical’s exhibit at SUR/FIN features its TriCol Reclaim process for decorative trivalent plating, a process that cuts down on costs and counterions.
Columbia Chemical (Brunswick, OH) will showcase its TriCol Reclaim process for decorative trivalent plating. According to the company, cost savings of 40-60% over traditional tri-chrome processes is possible. Performance data points of the new plating process include copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray (CASS) at 60 hours, high chloride corrosion at 200+ hours, no post-dip and neutral salt spray (NSS) at 1,000+ hours. This process was designed with a formulation to allow for total reclamation without the buildup of counterions. It features a single liquid additive which, according to the company, means no more heating and no more messy chrome dust powder.
