Powder and grit made of electrolytic chromium

JSC POLEMA produces powders and grit of electrolytic chromium with various chemical compositions and particle size.

Powders and grit are produced through mechanical grinding of refined electrolytic chromium material of the appropriate purity, with subsequent screening in order to achieve the needed particle size.

Powders made of refined electrolytic chromium are meant for use in manufacturing.

Grit made of refined electrolytic chromium is used as evaporable sources during vacuum application of chromium coatings.
