Silver Processes 

Silver Strike Solution

A Silver Strike solution is always recommended prior to silver deposition to promote excellent adhesion and prolong the life of the main plating solution.

 


Bright Silver Altix

Bright Silver Altix process produces light, bright, haze-free deposits.

Inclusion of an antimony brightener gives enhanced and controllable hardness over a wide range of deposit thicknesses.

The process is ideally suited to decorative, technical and heavy silver plating in both rack and barrel systems.

Best results are achieved when plating onto brass, copper or German silver.

 


Bright Silver Elfit 73E

Elfit produces pure white haze free deposits over a wide thickness range. The electrolyte has excellent bright throw and can be engineered to give good covering power.

The Elfit deposit has a conductivity equal to pure silver and is widely used throughout the world for RFI transmission applications.

Additive consumption is low, making the solution easy and economical to operate. Elfit is suitable for both rack and barrel installations.


Arguna ET

Arguna ET produces semi-bright silver deposits on polished surfaces. On matt surfaces the finish is smooth and fine grained. The hardness of the deposit can be varied from 80 HV to 150 HV.

The process is suitable for rack and barrel and can be used for heavy deposits

 


Arguna 625

Arguna 625 is a high speed silver plating electrolyte containing no free cyanide. The plating solution does not produce an immersion deposit and produces semi-bright coatings with very good soldering and bonding properties.

 

Silver Ancillaries

Antitarnish 328

A solvent-free electrolytic chromate silver antitarnish. It can be used in rack, barrel or reel to reel machines and is equally suited to both decorative and functional deposits.

 


Antitarnish Sil-Aft

Sil-Aft is an electrolytic system operated anodically for the protection of silver and silver alloys against tarnishing.

Specified by a major high street retailer, Sil-Aft gives protection to "point of sale", even in the more extreme climates.

Sil-Aft can be applied to silver without affecting the electrical characteristics of the deposit.

 


Elfit Decarbonating Salts

Specially developed for use in Elfit to extend the life of the silver solution.

 


Silver Potassium Cyanide

Available as 54% or 80% silver

Pack sizes 1Kg and 5kg.

 


Potassium Cyanide

A high specification product for general use in maintenance and make-up.

 


Silver Anodes

Dogbone silver anodes are thickened at the high current density portions of the cross section and maintain a more consistent anode current density throughout the life of the anodes.

99.97% fine silver

Sheet anodes are available to special order.
