Galvanotechnik (Germany; www.umicore-galvano.com)
–
formerly Degussa plating products division,
and a world leader in
electrolytic processes. Many formulas of gold
electroplating have
been developed to provide
optimum performance for decorative
or electronic
applications.
Galvanotechnik also manufactures
the most advanced platinized anodes,
which are produced in a molten bath that prevents
micro-pores and
micro-cracks typical in traditionally produced
anodes. Other important
systems include “Miralloy”
processes – copper/tin/zinc alloys used
as
replacements for nickel, silver or palladium.
The most widely used process
is Miralloy 2844, often referred to as
“White Bronze.” Umicore’s
Black Ruthenium process is truly elegant,
and the company is known world wide as the manufacturer
of Rhodium
J-1 and J-2.
Umicore’s new Rhodium
TD is the whitest, brightest process
on the
market. Newest products are “Trialloy”
(copper/tin/ cobalt chrome
replacement) and “Niphos”
(an electrolytic nickel/phos replacement
for gold plating on connectors)
