Liquid Development Company, a leading manufacturer of portable selective electroplating equipment and solutions introduces the most innovative brush plating development in years. The first viable chrome available for brush plating applications, LDC-HTC³ Chrome (Mathe Brush Chrome).

LDC-HTC³ Chrome

LDC-HTC³ is a trivalent chrome that produces longer lasting deposits, increased solution life,improves part wearability and is environmentally friendly. LDC-HTC³ Chrome is the only brush plating solution that can produce a hard chrome deposit thicker than .0005 inches.

LDC-HTC³ Chrome Advantage

LDC-HTC³ Chrome solutions can be used with your existing brush plating power pack and tools, can be used to plate on site, and can repair existing plating.

LDC-HTC³ Chrome does not contain or produce hexavalent chrome. This reduces costs and difficulties associated with the disposal of hexavalent waste.
