About Chrome Catalyst (Additive)
Chrome Catalyst is a proprietary mixed-catalyst additive dosed into conventional or mixed-catalyst hard chrome baths alongside chromic acid. It improves current efficiency and deposition rate compared with sulfate-only catalysis, supporting more consistent hardness and build-up on industrial hard chrome work. For practical guidance, read our guides to hard chrome plating chemicals and how chrome fume suppressants work.
Higher Current Efficiency
Improves deposition rate versus conventional sulfate-catalysed baths
Consistent Hardness
Supports stable Vickers/Rockwell hardness across production batches
Wider Operating Window
Tolerates a broader temperature and current-density range
Compatible Dosing
Formulated to work alongside standard chromic acid baths
