Plating during colder seasons

For an ideal chrome plating experience, and to ensure that you do not waste more product than is necessary, it is imperative that you protect your products from colder temperatures for the spray chrome process.

Learn a few helpful tips on how to ensure your products stay at the ideal temperature for plating all year round!

 

PRODUCTS COOL DURING COLDER SEASONS

Products can cool below the suggested minimum application temperature (at least 73°F or 23°C)

 

PRODUCT WASTE & SLOW REACTION

The cold slows down reaction time and wastes more products resulting in a less brilliant chrome finish.

 

WORKAROUNDS FOR COLD SEASONS...

KEEP CONSISTENT TEMPERATURES IN SPRAY BOOTH

Ensure your parts are not cold & always keep a minimum temperature of 23° Celsius / 73° F in your spray booth

 

STORE PRODUCTS IN A WARM AREA

Keeping the chemicals in a warm environment will maintain proper temperatures for plating

 

STORE MACHINE AT END OF USE

When finished using for the day, wheel the Cosmichrome system to a heated environment

 

KEEP CONSISTENT TEMPERATURES

It is VERY IMPORTANT that your chemicals and water remain at a minimum temperature of 23° C or 73°F

 

IF STORING IN A COLD ENVIRONMENT…

Cover the tanks with an electric blanket in order to keep the products warm

 

THE CHEMICAL HEATING UNIT IS THE IDEAL SOLUTION

Products from the tanks enter the heating unit and remain heated by the coils

 

READY FOR ACTION REGARDLESS OF OUTER TEMPERATURES

Products remain at a set temperature for when you are ready to use them
