The Look and Strength Of Real Chrome Without Environmental Issues or High Current Requirements

Buy This Kit If You Already Have a Nickel Plating Kit, or wish to convert from Triple Chrome to Reprochrome®

Introducing REPROCHROME®, a unique Cobalt/Tungsten alloy that contains no chrome, nickel or toxic materials. REPROCHROME® duplicates a chrome plate in color, durability and corrosion resistance, without the need for a fume control system or a high powered rectifier. Safer and easier to operate than a regular chrome plating system. REPROCHROME® is not EPA or OSHA regulated.

Reprochrome

REPROCHROME® requires just 0.07 amps per square inch of part surface area to plate at approx 5V DC, instead of the 1-1.5 amps required of a regular chrome system, making plating larger parts a real possibility for small scale platers. REPROCHROME® has excellent throwing power and easily plates into recesses and low areas that regular chrome has trouble with. Get help choosing the right DC power supply here.

REPROCHROME® will plate directly over copper, brass, nickel and most ferrous and non-ferrous metals. However, for maximum shine and durability, we recommend using it in a Triple Plate system consisting of copper, nickel and REPROCHROME® plating steps.

The biggest requirement would be a DC power source, such as a plating rectifier. Because of the low amperage requirements of all these plating systems, even a smallish rectifier, such as our 25 amp model, will allow you to plate parts up to 2.5 sq ft in area (for example a valve cover) Get Help Working Out Part Surface Areas

You can also run the kits from a DC battery (car or motorcycle), battery charger, or other DC power source, provided you are comfortable building an amperage control device.

The typical steps to plate a steel part would be:

Polish part to a high shine
Degrease the part
Plate with Flash Copper
Plate with Nickel
Plate with REPROCHROME®

1.5 Gallon Kit Contains:

1 x 2 Gal Plating tank with lid
2 x 4" x 8" Stainless Steel Anodes
1 x 1.5 Gal REPROCHROME® Starter
1 x 4oz REPROCHROME® Brightener
1 x Filter/pump
The Caswell Plating Manual
Free Technical Support

The included USB Caswell Plating Manual which contains complete operating instructions for all systems, as well as extensive surface prep and restoration techniques.

The REPROCHROME® takes between 1-2 minutes to plate.

The REPROCHROME® system plates its metal from the REPROCHROME® solution. Additions of REPROCHROME® starter should be made periodically to replenish the metal and maintain uniform and consistent color. REPROCHROME® brightener additions should also be performed periodically at the rate of 0.4 fl oz per gal of starter (3ml per 1000ml)
