Powder and grit made from electrolytic chromium

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

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

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

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