TripleHard

A true industrial replacement for Cr(VI)

TripleHard® is Savroc’s patented hard chrome replacement, designed to meet the performance, throughput and cost requirements of high-volume industrial production — without toxic hexavalent chromium.

Validated in demanding OEM programs, TripleHard® combines controlled chemistry and process control into a licensed production platform that enables repeatable quality, regulatory compliance and scalable deployment.

Why TripleHard is different

TripleHard® eliminates hexavalent chromium and supports compliance in regulated industrial environments, including the EU REACH regulation.

A true industrial alternative to Cr(VI)

TripleHard® matches and exceeds the performance of hexavalent hard chrome — without trade-offs in wear resistance, corrosion protection or throughput.

Designed for industrial scale

Unlike lab-scale alternatives, TripleHard® is engineered for repeatable, high-volume production with controlled quality and predictable uptime.

Lower total cost at scale

Higher productivity and process stability replace the hidden costs of Cr(VI), enabling cost parity or lower total cost of ownership at industrial scale.

TRIPLEHARD® HYDRAULICS

Reliable performance under pressure
Image is not available

Hydraulic components demand extreme wear resistance, low friction and flawless corrosion protection — without compromising environmental compliance. TripleHard® is designed for demanding hydraulic applications where uptime, sealing performance and lifetime cost matter.

How TripleHard is deployed

TripleHard® is implemented through a licensed production model — designed for repeatable quality, industrial scalability and full regulatory compliance. Savroc provides the process platform: chemistry specification, process control and QA/traceability under an active license.

step 1

Application fit & validation

Start with the right application

We assess the component requirements and define the optimal TripleHard® specification for performance, lifetime and cost. Typical high-volume targets include hydraulics, engine valves and shock absorbers.

OEM-validated in demanding industrial programs.

step 2

Licensed production cell

Deploy a licensed production cell

TripleHard® is deployed as a controlled production cell installed on an OEM or Tier-1 line. The license includes process control, QA/traceability and auditability — ensuring the coating is measurable and repeatable.

Savroc does not sell chemistry. TripleHard® is available only under an active license.

step 3

Scale through replication

Scale by replicating proven cells

Once the process is validated, scaling is straightforward: replicate cells across existing production lines with training and monitored ramp-up — delivering predictable throughput and quality.

Designed to replace Cr(VI) without trade-offs: performance, throughput and total cost.
