Mirror-like Miralloy is tarnish-free, and exceptionally abrasion and corrosion resistant. It���s RoHS compliant, non-magnetic, non-allergenic, and RF-friendly. This advanced electroplating alloy (Sn, Cu, Zn) plates with exceptional uniformity. cl-nc alkaline copper is the frst-ever solution for direct plating on aluminum. CL-NC replaces the cyanide copper strike used prior to zinc die cast plating, and is ideal as a base for bright nickel/microcrack chrome fnishing. Used with a nickel barrier, it���s an excellent base for gold plating. anP electroless nickel Plating for aluminum provides excellent adhesion through at least six MTOs. The process does not employ a strike and adds no additional steps compared to normal aluminum preparation double zincating. cl satin nickel is quite possibly the most versatile plating fnish ever developed. It produces fne crystalline nickel deposits, even on polished base materials. Diferent color efects can be achieved with chrome, antique nickel, black nickel, black chrome and gold. talk with Uyemura today about test processing!
