Low Foam Electroplating Process - Brief Article

Automotive Finishing, Winter, 2000

The Reel-Satin[R] 2544 high speed, high efficiency, low foam electroplating process is designed for rapid deposition of pure tin and tin-lead alloys at high current density. This process offers the advantage of being compatible with both methane sulfonate and fluoborate electrolytes. The process is said to be ideal for high-speed wire plating applications, obtaining fine-grained, uniform, satin deposits over a wide cathode current density range. The resulting tin and tin-lead deposits are characterized by low carbon content and excellent reflow solderability properties.

The system offers additional benefits, such as a one component additive that is easy to maintain and control, operation over a wide current density range, and simplified effluent treatment.
