Alkaline Cyanide-free Copper-Plating Process
DIASTAR 100 is an alkaline, cyanide-free high performance Copper plating process for deposition on Steel, Copper alloys, Zinc die cast and Aluminium.
The process is especially suited for fast deposition of bright, pore free deposits in a wide range of current densities.
Due to its excellent throwing power, Steel and Copper alloys can be plated directly without any sub-layer.
Zinc die cast and zincated Aluminium can be plated in rack applications or barrel applications with the use of DIASTAR Strike.
