Chromate conversion coatings have been a time honored method of improving the corrosion resistance of zinc and cad plated surfaces and for the long term protection of aluminum. A Brite has improved traditional chromate coatings by extending product performance, offering a greater choice of colors and by providing post-dip processes that enhance salt spray and corrosion resistance.

TRIDIP SERIES

All BRITEGUARD TRIDIP processes are liquid trivalent chromate conversion coatings for all electrodeposited zinc surfaces. They provide a highly polished surface while passivating zinc surfaces leaving a bluer finish than conventional trivalent chromates.

TRIDIP THE ORIGINAL standard trivalent chromate for most applications
BLU Unique formulation for any zinc but especially for alkaline non-cyanide zincs, elimates yellowing often found with other chromates.
105 Higher tolerance to impurities resulting in less discoloration and yellowing associated with co- deposited iron. Fewer problems encountered with zinc stripping from low current densities due to low zinc removal properties. Can be applied as blue-bright or yellow finish.
HC Designed for heavy production without downtime for fresh make-up. Also provides a slightly higher salt spray protection over conventional chromates.
ULTRA Contains an added dye for a super-blue finish.
132 Provides a finish that exceeds 150 hours of neutral salt spray to white corrosion and 250 hours to red rust. This exceeds auto industry specifications. RoHS, WEEE & ELV compliant.
CR-1 High corrosion resistant chromate for all zincs including zinc/iron and zinc/cobalt. Provides finish that produces less than 5% white salts after 150 hours of neutral salt spray. This exceeds auto industry specifications (GME-00252 and GMW-3044C). Can be utilized as either clear or yellow finish. RoHS, WEEE & ELV compliant.

PITCHBLACK

BRITEGUARD PITCHBLACK Chromate Systems are designed to provide a uniform, consistent black deposit on all types of electroplated zinc. They have been specifically formulated for high production loads, where ease of use, consistent color and a high degree of corrosion protection are desired. PITCHBLACK provides a coating that is glossy, non-iridescent and non-conductive, with better adhesion and hardness than competitive black chromate coatings.

PITCHBLACK

Two part Black Chromate System that is designed to provide a uniform, consistent black deposit on all types of electroplated zinc.

PITCHBLACK CS Provides better adhesion and hardness than competitive black chromate coatings. Meets all U.S. Government Specifications for corrosion resistance and is also specified under ASTM-201. Formulated with a UV blocker, thus coating will not fade or discolor. Parts will retain their deep, rich, black color.

YELLOW SERIES

All BRITEGUARD YELLOWS are highly concentrated liquids or powders that are designed to produce a wide range of finished coatings from iridescent yellow, golden bronze or leach-clear chromate conversion coating on zinc and cadmium plated surfaces, zinc die-castings or hot dip galvanized parts. It does not require additions of nitric acid. They are formulated for use on any type of zinc electrolyte, chromating cycle, or equipment used.

2B Powdered material that produces a bright, uniform, yellow chromate coating on zinc and cadmium plated surfaces, zinc die-castings or hot dip galvanized parts. It does not require additions of nitric acid. Simply dissolve in water and the bath is ready to use.
2LA Workhorse chromate for most applications. It has a high polishing action, enhancing the final finish of the part. Films set hard and fast, making it good for barrel, diecast and on deposits from acid zinc electrolytes, resulting in less rub off. More uniform in color.
2LC Produces a chromate film, which can vary in color from bright gold-iridescent with green and yellow hues to dark gold iridescent with shades of red and gold. It has high polishing action, enhancing the final finish of the part.
2LK Produces a darker more uniform yellow-gold appearance. A heavier chromate film is produced for those installations requiring such performance.
2LS Specifically formulated to eliminate adhesion, wipe-off and haze problems often encountered in chloride zinc electrolytes. This unique product will perform equally well along with any type of chloride electrolyte or chromating cycle used.
BRONZE 12 A unique two part yellow, which maintains a more uniform gold color with almost no iridescent green and red hues. Color depth can be adjusted from light to dark, while maintaining a low or non- iridescent gold color.

BLUE P, BLUE 1L & BLUE 3L
Easy to use hexavalent liquid and powder chromates that produce a clean, clear finish with a pronounced blue hue. Low operating concentrations, long bath life and overall economy contribute to this series of chromates as being the premium hex chromates in the industry.
