Nickel S-Pellets

Nickel S-Pellets™ are a high purity form of sulphur-activated nickel widely used for electroplating with titanium anode baskets. S-Pellets™ are produced by a unique carbonyl gas refining process at the Clydach Nickel Refinery in the UK.

The controlled and consistent purity of S-Pellets™ and the advantages associated with its distinctive shape and sulphur activation make this product attractive for high-end plating (e.g. high-speed engineering, electronics, electroforming) with titanium anode baskets:

• Carbonyl refining produces the purest form of nickel available
• Sulfur activation promotes uniform dissolution and low operating voltage, even in chloride-free plating baths
• 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 and shaped baskets with standard mesh sizes
• Ideal for use with automated basket loading devices
• Safe to handle (no sharp edges)
• Dissolves at 100% anode efficiency in common nickel plating solutions – with or without chlorides
• Dissolution produces minimal metallic residues

The sulphur in this product does not enter the plating solution; it forms an insoluble nickel sulphide residue, which is 100% contained using cloth anode bags, where it acts to remove unwanted copper impurities.

S-Pellets™ are produced in compliance with the following standards: ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007.
