AntitarnishAntitarnish has been developed to protect copper and copper alloys as well as copper coatings against corrosion. By a simple efficient immersion process a colourless, thin and adherent protective coating is achieved that provides protection against oxidation of the materials surface. Once treated the material may be stored for several months without tarnishing. Antitarnish is an aqueous, environmentally sustainable solution without the additions of chromates. Components once treated with Antitarnish can be processed further (electrochemically) after the protective coating is removed by acid dipping.

Garcoat CAThis cathodic clearcoat based on acrylic-resin is especially developed to coat decorative surfaces and can be applied between 5 µm and 35 µ.This cathodic clearcoat is an excellent protection for high-gloss metals and metallic surfaces of gold, silver, copper, chromium, nickel, aluminium, stainless steel and other alloys from atmospheric influences, as well as from everyday wear and tear.

Silverpassivation XP 0015The Silverpassivation XP 0015 on silver, is an electroless passivation bath, which deposits transparent, colourless protective coatings. The produced layer protects the silver surface from formation of silver sulphide, so decolouration can be prevented for a longer period of time. Through passivation the conductivity and soldering are only insignificant reduced.

Silverpassivation XP 0020 PasteThe Silverpassivation XP 0020 on silver, is an electroless passivation bath, which deposits transparent, colourless protective coatings.

RECYCLING MATERIALSIWG provides the opportunity to recycle all kinds of precious metals.•Used galvanic baths•Metal stripper•Anode material•Jewellery scraps•PCB

PROCESS - SAMPLE DRAW / ANALYSISFirst a sample is taken from the recycling material. The samples are examined by the most modern methods of analysis, which are:• ICP•X-ray fluorescence analysis•gravimetry

The customer receives the analytical result and then decides whether the material is reycled.We also offer customized solutions for billing and purchase / sale of recovered metals.
