PALLUNA® 463 (LC) Palladium Nickel Electrolyte

Bright, low-porosity coatings with flexible metal content

PALLUNA® 463 is a weakly alkaline electrolyte for technical and decorative applications for the deposition of palladium-nickel layers with 80% palladium by weight. The electrolyte is stable, easy to handle, and suitable for rack and barrel operations. For applications requiring lower coating thicknesses, an LC version with a lower palladium content and therefore lower dragout is available.

The white, low-porosity coatings are perfectly bright at coating thicknesses of up to 10 µm (5 µm for the LC version). The ductile, low-stress layers are not only characterized by high hardness and very good abrasion resistance, but also offer good corrosion and tarnish resistance.
