The new generation of acidic
zinc-nickel electrolytes
For barrel- and cast iron plating, acidic zinc-nickel
electrolytes are reintroduced to the market. Also in
zinc-nickel processes, Schlötter profits from many years
of practical experience. With the new Zinc-Nickel
SLOTOLOY ZN 310, a process with the following advantages
is offered:
Better starting behaviour for critical cast iron- and
barrel parts
Chloride based process, free of ammonium
Very stable nickel co-deposition of 12-15% over a wide
current density range
No formation of cyanide or carbonate
There is no need of expensive peripheral equipment
(zinc dissolving compartments or freezing facilities)
Easier detoxification, compared to alkaline processes
All common zinc-nickel passivations an sealants are
suitable as post-treatment

A
new generation of trivalent
chrome electrolytes
Conventional
chromic acid based electrolytes
have to be categorized
toxically. According to ¡± 1
clause 1 sentence 1, they are
subject to the basic obligations
of the statutory order on
hazardous incidents (German 12.
BimSchV) if the quantity is ≥
5000 kg (≈ 4200 litres) and to
the extended ones if quantity is
≥ 20000 kg (≈ 16800 litres). For
various applications the
ammonium-free trivalent Bright
Chrome SLOTOCHROM DR 60 is an
adequate alternative. Its use is
an enormous improvement on the
field of Environment- and
Employment Protection. Due to
the non-toxic properties of
trivalent chromium it is not
subject of the statutory order
on hazardous incidents. In
addition this electrolyte is
operated without wetting agents
containing PFOS (Perfluorooctane
sulfonate).
Bright Chrome SLOTOCHROM 60 is
used to chrome plate parts for
indoor use. Coverage and
throwing power are much better
and the contacting of the parts
is easier than in the hexavalent
process. In comparison with
other trivalent processes Bright
Chrome SLOTOCHROM DR 60 shows an
especially light coloured and
reproducible appearance which is
very close to the one provided
by a hexavalent chromium
electrolyte. |
