Membrane Anodes Technology – Best Performance for Alkaline Zinc Nickel Electrolytes
Atotech’s membrane anode technology avoids the decomposition of organic compounds at the anode, thus preventing the formation of breakdown products such as cyanide. The lifetime of the plating solution is considerably extended and the deposition rate is higher than in conventional installations, ensuring constant plating quality. For operation with membrane technology Reflectalloy® ZNA XL is the optimized rack process and Zinni AL 450 XL the optimized barrel process.
