New Electrolytic Nickel Plates at 200% the Speed
Niphos® 6500 is an advanced solution to problematic “bottlenecks” on R2R lines, plating twice as fast as conventional electrolytic nickel processes while maintaining the same level of phosphorus in the plated layer. Niphos 6500 has a phosphorus content of 6 -11 %, with very low internal stress and low susceptibility to cracking. It provides excellent corrosion protection and has a broad range of uses:
- It is an exceptional intermediate layer for hard gold plating, reducing gold thickness and producing significant cost savings.
- It has shown strong performance in high frequency connectors and sensor applications.
- Used on high-stress automotive and industrial components, it increases durability, reduces friction, retards wear, and helps manage heat transfer. It also enhances surface hardness: Niphos 6500 has an HV of 550-600.
THRU-NIC™ CL is the highest throw electrolytic nickel process available. Process typically yields a 5-fold increase in throwing power over standard nickel systems – nearly equal to electroless nickel plating. Nickel deposits in recessed locations without elaborate cathode arrangements. Pre-mixed, single component make-up and replenishment; low current density. Thru-Nic deposits are pure nickel, white, and sulfur and phosphorus-free, with low internal stress. They are ideal for lead frames, connectors, IC packages.
Niphos 965 electrolyte produces the ideal intermediate layer prior to hard gold plating in reel-to-reel lines. PH stable process is superior to EN, producing layers that are amorphous, diamagnetic and abrasion and corrosion resistant. Niphos is contaminant-tolerant and free of halides, chloride, lead and cadmium.
Niphos 968 for barrel plating was developed to plate steel rods in hydraulics and shock absorbers: nickel-phosphorus layers are combined with chromium as a final layer. This combination allows lower thicknesses of the chromium and dramatically improves wear properties of the complete system.
KHW Antique-Nickel deposits a thin, bright layer of nickel the color of anthracite onto copper, brass, nickel, silver or tin. Bath is exceptionally stable; compatible with both rack and barrel application.
An intermediate layer of bright or satin nickel, and a post-plating lacquer layer are recommended for optimum results.
Electrolytic Nickel Gold
THRU-NIC™ AMT Nickel Plating Process has exceptionally high throwing power compared to sulfate baths. Deposits have a uniform matte white appearance and are sulfur and phosphorus-free. Thru-Nic AMT is an excellent gold plating undercoat; it is well suited to PCB applications, including small plated thru-holes, and preserves solder mask integrity.
