MacDermid Enthone’s Kenlevel BF2 high-performance, boric acid-free zinc process for rack and barrel applications is designed to meet REACH requirements. It is said the nontoxic process uses liquid additives, enabling automatic replenishment and provides easy waste treatment. According to the company, Kenlevel BF2 provides a burn-free deposit with metal distribution, uniform bright appearance and passivate receptivity for improved corrosion performance. The company says that a low-foaming process enables fast plating for improved productivity. It also demonstrates improved thickness distribution, throwing power and brightness. Suitable for LCD areas, it operates at low zinc concentrations and uses an additive package, making for easy conversion of any conventional acid zinc solution, the company says.
