TriChrome Ice (XP)
Faster, more efficient ¨C The closest Cr(VI) color match
TriChrome Ice (XP) is a next-generation, Cr(VI)-free decorative chromium plating process designed to deliver the industry¡¯s closest color match to traditional hexavalent chrome ? while significantly improving efficiency and robustness.
The advanced sulfate-based technology enables up to 50% faster plating speeds, a wider operating window, and outstanding surface quality, producing a crystal-clear, ¡°ice white¡± finish even on complex geometries. With enhanced productivity, high process stability, and reduced energy consumption, TriChrome Ice (XP) offers a reliable and sustainable solution for modern decorative plating applications.
What inspires us
Why we developed TriChrome Ice (XP)
Your challenge
The transition from Cr(VI) to Cr(III) plating is driven by regulatory and OEM requirements, but conventional sulfate-based Cr(III) systems remain constrained by slower deposition rates, narrow operating windows, and sensitivity to current density variations. These limitations impact process stability, throughput, and color consistency, making a direct replacement under existing production conditions technically more challenging.
Our solution
TriChrome Ice (XP) enables stable Cr(III) deposition under production-relevant conditions by expanding the operating window and stabilizing performance across a broad current density range. This reduces variability, minimizes defects, and supports consistent surface quality ? allowing integration into existing plating lines without major process changes while maintaining industrial throughput.
