Our Electroless Cobalt Plating Kit operates in exactly the same manner as our Electroless Nickel kits. The kit gives the plate a dazzling chrome look and imparts more hardness to the surface, without any hazardous materials. Applied to a previously polished surface and then buffed lightly, the finish will match most commercial chrome plated pieces.
When electroless plating, you may not plate any item that has a surface area exceeding the maximum load of the bath. The maximum load is 30 sq. in./quart of plating bath. Refer to the table below.
| Kit Size | Maximum Load (largest size part) | Approx Total Surface Area Available @ 0.0005" |
| Mini | 75 sq in. | 132 sq in. |
| Standard | 150 sq in. | 264 sq in. |
| Deluxe | 300 sq in. | 528 sq in. |
| Jumbo | 600 sq in. | 1056 sq in. |
After making up the initial solution, each kit can be replenished with the included replenisher chemical, to a maximum of 10 times. After 10 times, the bath must be disposed and a fresh bath made. Based on the size of the kit, each kit will plate a certain amount of surface area. Refer to the table below. Replenishment chemicals can be purchased separately.
We recommend electroless plating for small parts, or when plating inside tubes or heavily recessed areas. For larger parts, use our Reprochrome® system.
