Barrel and rack plating electrolyte
for functional applications
Mote than 30 years of MIRALLOY”, the nickel-free alternative
for coatings in the connector, clothing and costume jewellery
industries. You can take advantage of out experience as well as
continuous improvements to our product line. The trademark
MIRALLOY” comes from the English words "mirror" and "alloy".
It refers to the Bronze Age when mirror-like coatings were
produced from copper and tin.
MIRALLOY" denotes electroplating processes foe the deposition
of alloy coatings of copper and tin or of copper, tin and zinc.
The basic composition of the electrolytes is alkaline cyanide.
Oepending on the type of electrolyte, either white or yellow
layers can be deposited. White coatings contain about 55 % of
copper and 45 % of tin, or 55 % of copper, 30 % of tin and 15 %
of zinc. Yellow coatings as alloy components on an average
contain 80 % of copper, 17.5 % of tin and 2.5 % of zinc* or 85 %
of copper, 10 % of tin and 5 % of zinc, or 85 % of copper and
15 % of tin. From the wide range of MIRALLOY* processes, elec-
trolytes for rack or for barrel operation can be selected.
