Columbia Chemical showcases its innovative TriCOL Reclaim process, which is said to provide cost savings of 40-60% over traditional trivalent systems. The company says the product offers CASS (Copper Accelerated Acetic Acid Salt Spray) at 60 hours, high chloride corrosion at 200+ hours, no post dip, 1000+ hours NSS (neutral salt spray) and L values in the 80s. The process was designed with a unique formulation to enable for total reclamation without the buildup of counterions; it features a single liquid additive, meaning no more heating and no messy chrome dust powder.

  • A Process for Alkaline Non-cyanide Silver Plating for Direct Plating on Copper, Copper Alloys and Nickel Without a Silver Strike Bath

    Traditionally, silver is electroplated in toxic, cyanide-based chemistry.  Due to cyanide’s extreme hazard to human health and environments, developing non-cyanide silver chemistry is essential for the silver electroplating industry.  Discussed here is an aqueous, alkaline non-cyanide silver plating technology, which can be directly plated over nickel as well as copper and its alloys.  The silver deposits have perfect white color and better anti-tarnishing properties than other non-cyanide silver processes.  The silver is plated entirely from the dissolving silver anode and the bath is very stable, and maintains a stable pH level both during plating and idle time.  This new non-cyanide silver technology will plate bright silver that is perfectly suitable for electronic, industrial and decorative applications.    .
