PFOS Free Wetting Agent For Chrome Sulphuric Etch
SILKEN WET 302 is liquid additive for chrome sulphuric etch systems for plating on plastics. It provides improved wetting of plastic surfaces by reducing solution surface tension. The product provides the formation of foam blankets to the etch solution to help reduce chrome air emissions.
Features & Benefits
- Provides high wetting of plastic surfaces during the etch process
- Can be used in conventional chrome sulphuric etch systems
- Produces excellent solubility over wide chrome-sulphuric concentration ranges
- Helps to suppress chromium air emissions and process line contamination
- Improves POP metallization cycle performance and consistency
Fields of application
- Automotive
- Sanitary Fittings
- Electronics & Connectors
- Household appliance. e.g. wash machine rings
This process belongs toSILKEN LINE
SILKEN is a process line for the pre-treatment of ABS – PC/ABS and PP-plastic materials for Electroplating.
The SILKEN Line includes products for all process steps from pre-cleaning to etching to Electroless Nickel plating. The SILKEN processes are particularly environmentally friendly.
The pre-treatment with the SILKEN process leads to a very smooth, uniform surface and supports a high degree of brightness of the final finish while providing excellent adhesion of the electroplated deposit.
Due to the reductions in waste water treatment and the reduced aggression on the plating equipment, the SILKEN process provides large economic advantages over conventional plastic pre-treatment processes.
