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.

RUTHUNA® Product Family

Sustainable palladium substitute with significant price advantages

For years, palladium has been considered the ideal intermediate or final layer among platinum metals. Now the balance of power is changing - RUTHUNA® beats palladium, which has been the preferred choice up to now, in all relevant properties. The king is dead, long live the king.

PLATINODE® HC

Electrodes enable noticeable saving of energy & CO2

Due to current electricity prices, our specially developed electrodes (PLATINODE® HC) have a particularly positive effect on production costs, especially in energy-intensive hard chrome plating - while at the same time reducing the CO2 footprint. In addition, they are durable and easy to handle, which makes our electrodes more cost-effective than their conventional lead variants in the medium term anyway.
