Dubois Chemicals Showcases Its Bright, Electroless Nickel Alloy
SUR/FIN exhibitor DuBois Chemicals’ Nitec Viro-Brite deposits a bright, uniform nickel-phosphorous alloy over steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper alloys.
Dubois Chemicals will showcase Nitec Viro-Brite, a cadmium and lead-free electroless nickel process. Viro-Brite, which is restriction of hazardous substances (ROHS) compliant, deposits a uniform nickel-phosphorus alloy over a wide variety of substrates, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper alloys. According to the company, Viro-Brite produces exceptionally bright coatings that remain bright throughout the life of the bath. Viro-Brite’s operational benefits reportedly include excellent bath stability, consistent deposition rates, high tolerance to metallic impurities and long bath life.

Hexavalent-Chromium-Free Aluminum Sacrificial Paint Validation
Hexavalent chromium is a known carcinogen, repro-toxin and mutagen. Its elimination is of high importance to the aerospace industry, which has struggled to find high performing alternatives. Legacy aluminum sacrificial paints have traditionally utilized hexavalent chromium to prevent corrosion and coatings which are equal to or better than have been difficult. This second of two papers discusses the hexavalent-chromium-free process from the user point-of-view in terms of the process validation work by Rolls Royce Corporation.
