ARGUNA® C-100

New 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.

AURUNA® 215 Pale

Pale gold coatings are now also possible without allergies

The subtle pale gold tones (14 carat Hamilton), which stand out from the crowd for this very reason, continue to be absolutely trendy. Until now, however, these light gold layers were mostly only possible with the addition of nickel or cobalt - metals that not infrequently trigger allergic reactions for the wearer. Skin irritations in the form of reddened and itchy areas are the result, especially when accessories such as jewelry or watches are worn for a long time. Now you as a manufacturer have the chance to produce allergy-free and thus skin-friendly products. Our new AURUNA® 215 Pale does not contain any metals that are often allergenic.

PLATINODE® Cr3

We facilitate the changeover to the chromium(III) process

Up to now, chromium(VI) processes have primarily been used for chromium plating. However, due to current environmental and safety aspects, as well as legal developments, chromium(III)-containing processes have been in use for years and are in constant development.
