Electroless and Electrolytic Plating

Acteron offers several solutions for your Electroless and Electrolytic Plating requirements.

OptiGold™ - The Premier Choice in Reflector Coatings.

Acteron has developed unique technology for the deposition of optically reflective gold coatings. These deposits are exceptionally hard, pure, uniform and thermally stable.

Advantages
Optimum Reflectivity
OptiGold™ uses proprietary technology to achieve 98% plus IR reflectivity.
Purity and Uniformity
OptiGold™ is highly pure (99.9%) and an exceptionally fine grained hard gold coating. It is free of organic polymers present in typical hard gold deposits.
Exceptional Longevity
Optimum hardness, purity and density provide highly durable coatings that can be applied over our extremely non-porous and corrosion-resistant OptiNickel™ undercoating.
Highest Reliability
Exceptional purity and uniformity are ensured through Statistical Process Control and Acteron’s advanced quality control system to provide the highest reliability anywhere.

OptiNickel™ consists of Multilayer and Composite Electroless Nickel for Optimum Coating Performance.

Acteron has developed a series of unique, pore free coatings utilizing advanced technologies, including ultrasound, pulse current and unique alloys to solve critical application challenges.

Advantages
Alloys
High, medium and low phosphorus Nickel Boron. Boron Nitride composite. Teflon, chromate over-coatings.

Ultra Corrosion Protection
Over 1000 hours salt spray resistance. Strongly resistant to chemical environments.
Economical
Lower coating thickness required to obtain specified corrosion resistance. The lower thickness allows easier tolerancing of threads and critical dimensions which reduces machining and plating cost.
Extreme Hardness and Wear Resistance
Heat treatable up to Rockwell C68 and wear resistance equivalent to hard chromium.
Pore-free
Pore and particle-free
Highly Uniform on all geometries
Consistency of deposit thickness.
Other Attributes
For soldering, brazing and welding. Food approved, excellent lubricity for mold release, exceptional ductility.
