Palladium Processes
Palladium 451
A weakly alkaline process for high speed, selective plating, in continuous lines producing a semi-bright to bright appearance.
Excellent bonding and solderability are seen together with low porosity and freedom from cracking.
Palladium 456
A brilliant, high gloss process designed for decorative applications e.g. spectacle frames and jewellery. Deposits of up to 3 µm are used and it is suitable for both rack and barrel plating.
Palladium 459
Palladium 459 is a weakly alkaline electrolyte for the deposition of light, bright coatings up to a thickness of 0.5 µm.
This process is ideal for use as a palladium strike bath.
Palladium-Nickel Processes
Palladium-Nickel 462
Palladium-Nickel 462 produces crack- free bright deposits containing 70 - 80% Palladium, dependant upon bath composition.
The corrosion resistant coatings have a hardness of 620 HV and can be deposited in either rack or barrel applications.
Palladium-Nickel 468
This process is an ammoniacal, high speed electrolyte for the deposition of Palladium-Nickel coatings containing 70 - 80% Palladium.
Ideally suited to reel-to-reel and jet plating techniques, Palladium-Nickel 466 produces ductile deposits of Palladium-Nickel with a hardness of 580 - 620 HV.
Platinum Processes
Platinum K
Platinum K, is used for the deposition of smooth and brilliant platinum coatings of a light colour up to a coating thickness of 1μm.
The hardness of the coating is approximately 500 - 700 HV. It has a wide operating range and is suitable for rack and barrel.
