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
