Palladure 150
Palladure 150 is an ammoniacal electrolyte producing pure bright, ultra-white palladium deposits which can be used to replace rhodium in decorative applications. Palladure 150 deposits are crack-free up to 0.5 micron and are typically used on bright copper, nickel or silver substrates. The low porosity deposits offer excellent protection against corrosion.

Palladure 270
Palladure 270 is a decorative palladium process capable of producing fully bright, white deposits from a mildly alkaline electrolyte up to thicknesses exceeding 5 microns. Deposits are levelled and crack-free. The Palladure 270 is ideal for use as a final finish or as a replacement for nickel as diffusion barrier undercoat.

Palladure Strike
Palladure Strike is an acidic pure palladium strike process designed for use prior to palladium or palladium-nickel plating. The use of Palladure Strike is recommended for nickel and other easily passivated substrates to ensure maximum adhesion of the subsequent palladium deposit. Note that a water rinse after the Palladure Strike is essential prior to subsequent processing.

Pallamet 500
The PALLAMET™ 500 palladium nickel electroplating process produces bright, ductile palladium-nickel deposits in a plating bath with nearly neutral pH for an environmentally friendly and stable plating operation.

Pallamet 600
Pallamet 600 process is a new generation of Rohm and Haas chloride-free, high speed Palladium-Nickel electroplating process. The reduced ammonia concentration combined with additional ligands incorporated into this new plating solution ensures a stable, environmentally friendly electrolyte and an easy to operate process. Despite the low ammonia content, Pallamet 600 retains all the advantages of the conventional ammonia-based process. The bright Palladium-Nickel deposits of approximately 80 % Pd / 20 % Ni produced from the Pallamet 600 process exhibit low internal stress, excellent ductility and good adhesion to nickel and nickel alloy undercoats. Low porosity and excellent corrosion and wear resistance make the deposits suitable for various electronic applications, when used with a thin flash gold topcoat. The Pallamet 600 process allows the operation at the higher temperature and provides a constant performance over a wide range of current density. The process can be used for reel-toreel applications with differing cell designs of selective plating (e.g. control depth, brush plating, jet plating, spot plating, and etc.).

Decronal 44 Black
Decronal Black 44 produces noble ruthenium deposits with a rich anthracite tone. The deposit is very hard and abrasion resistant. A deposit thickness of 0.1 - 2 microns can be achieved, which together with an under-coating of palladium/nickel, is highly corrosion resistant. For lower deposit thicknesses of 0.1 – 1.0 micron, it is possible to operate the process at significantly lower metal concentration to achieve maximum economy.
