Silver Non-Cyanide

Description

Non-cyanide silver plating deposits a silver coating to production parts by dipping the parts in a bath solution, and rinsing. Using a non-cyanide plating process reduces the volume of hazardous waste generated and the associated disposal costs, and exposure of personnel to hazardous materials and wastes.

Benefits

Excellent for applications requiring increased conductivity or lower contract resistance
Can be applied in place with minimal disassembly
