Nickel Plating Chips™ (UK)
Nickel Plating Chips™ are a high purity form of nickel specifically designed for electroplating with titanium anode baskets. ChipsTM are produced by a unique carbonyl gas refining process at the Clydach Nickel Refinery in the UK.
The controlled and consistent purity of Chips™ and the advantages associated with its distinctive shape make this product attractive for general purpose plating with titanium anode baskets:
- Carbonyl refining produces the purest form of nickel available
- Unique shape prevents the formation of bridges and voids in the basket
- Settles uniformly in basket, ensuring uniform current density and high quality deposits
- Flows easily into regular baskets with standard mesh sizes
- Safe to handle (no sharp edges)
- Dissolves at 100% anode efficiency in common nickel plating solutions (containing chlorides)
- Proven and trusted by the world’s leading electroplaters
Dissolution produces a small amount of metallic residue which can be contained using cloth anode bags.
Chips™ are produced in compliance with the following standards: ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007.
