PLATANEX® LUNA Platinum Electroplating Process

PLATANEX LUNA is an alkaline, high-speed, low stress, pure platinum electroplating process specifically designed to produce uniform deposits to any desired thickness. The process produces hard, ductile, matte deposits. PLATANEX LUNA is also recommended for processing electronic and other components where anti-oxidation properties in a high temperature environment are desired.
