The electronics industry has a need for a high specification, bright electrolytic nickel, as an alternative to electroless nickel plating to go under hard gold on contact surfaces. Schloetter now provides two processes from Umicor for this application: NIPHOS 965, formulated for reel to reel equipment, and NIPHOS 966 for barrel or rack plating.

Because these processes are electrolytic and not electroless they are thus many times faster and less expensive, two features much valued in the competitive electronics industry. www.schloetter.co.uk
