Technic (Cranston, R.I.) has announced the release of its new cyanide-free silver plating process chemistry Technisilver Cyless II W, designed for general metal finishing, decorative and electronic component/connector applications. Cyless II W addresses the global demand for an environmentally-safe, high-performance silver process.
While many cyanide-free silver plating products suffer from a yellowish or dull deposit appearance, Technisilver Cyless II-W is said to produce a bright, non-yellow appearance with even distribution. Easily controlled adjustments reportedly provide a bright or semi-bright finish, as desired.
Technic expects the non-cyanide process to be well-received in manufacturing regions around the world where environmental regulations have become more stringent.
