ELECTROLYTIC NICKEL S-ROUNDS

Vale™ Electrolytic Nickel S-Rounds™ are a high purity form of sulfuractivated nickel specifically designed for electroplating with titanium anode baskets – especially in chloride-free plating baths. 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. The controlled and consistent quality of S-Rounds™, their distinctive shape and size, and the advantages of sulfur activation make Vale™ S-Rounds™ ideally suited for high-end electroplating applications (e.g. high-speed engineering, electronics, electroforming):

• High purity
• 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
• Unique shape ensures good solution flow and mixing through the basket
• Settles uniformly in basket, ensuring uniform current density and high quality deposits
• Flows easily into regular and shaped baskets of various mesh sizes
• Safe to handle (no sharp edges)
• Dissolves at 100% anode efficiency in common nickel plating solutions – with or without chlorides
• Produces minimal metallic residues upon dissolution
• Proven and trusted by the world’s leading electroplaters
