Silver processes for numerous technical applications

Umicore offers numerous silver electrolytes for various technical applications and fields of use. These include, for example, electrical contacts in connector technology, high-frequency technology, medical technology, and coatings for electrical packaging technology. 

The following table shows the property profiles of the silver electrolytes.

Fine silver processes

Fine silver has extremely high electrical and thermal conductivity. As electroplated coatings, fine silver processes are therefore widely used in electronics.

Hard silver processes

In addition to good electrical conductivity, hard silver alloys are particularly hard. Therefore, they are mainly used for electrical contacts which have to withstand high wear.
