Customized Solutions for Your Industry
1. Electroplating & Metal Finishing
Replace hexavalent chromium with our low-chloride variants (≤0.1% Cl⁻) for REACH-compliant decorative/functional plating. Achieve salt spray resistance >240 hours and brightness levels matching traditional systems.
2. Catalyst Manufacturing
Ultra-high purity grades (Fe ≤30 ppm) minimize catalyst poisoning, improving methanol synthesis yields by 12-18%.
3. Ceramic Pigments
Micronized powders (D50 ≤5 μm) ensure uniform color distribution and Renaissance-era green hues without sodium-induced glaze defects.
4. Wood Preservation
pH-stable CCA alternatives reduce chromium leaching by 40% while meeting FSC and EPA FIFRA standards.
