SILVREX® White Metal Technology

SILVREX S silver electroplating process yields a mirror bright, soft white, silver deposit. Specifically designed for high volume applications where dragout is minimal, SILVREX S deposits are extremely ductile and have excellent solderability. Because the process does not contain a metallic brightener, it may be used for electrical and electronic, as well as decorative applications.

SILVREX hard, bright silver processes also available by contacting your Enthone representative.
