ARGUNA® C-100

New connector plating standard for plug contacts in high power applications

Our silver-graphite dispersion electrolyte ARGUNA® C-100 is specially developed for connector contacts used in high-power applications (e.g. high-power charging / HPC). It provides a contact layer on your connectors which is clearly superior to conventional coatings: over 50,000 mating cycles without adverse wear and thus the best possible charging performance at all times without restriction - the new standard in this field.

PLATUNA® PT

New benchmark for platinum coating of technical applications

Electroplating technology has a new benchmark for coating with pure platinum: PLATUNA® PT. The electrolyte enables the deposition of exceptionally thick and at the same time very homogeneous and absolutely crack-free platinum layers. Coatings with PLATUNA® PT are convincing in almost all technical applications. Whether as a visually appealing, high-gloss top layer or as a functional intermediate and final layer.

PLATINODE® HC

State subsidy for PLATINODE® HC - lead anodes in hard chrome plating are deprived of economic advantage

The investment costs for the high-quality, durable PLATINODE® HC, which is more economical in the medium term anyway compared to lead anodes, can now be reduced by up to 60 % if the energy savings are included - and without any additional expense for our customers.
