electroplating
The variety of treatments in which it is necessary to make savings is all the more important as the choice of the type of support or adhesive depends on the specific conditions of each workshop. The variety of treatments in which savings must be made is all the more important since the choice of the type of substrate or adhesive depends on the conditions of implementation specific to each workshop.
The numerous categories of coatings, baths and processes lead to the recommendation of a prior evaluation of the most suitable adhesive tapes.
ALUMINUM TAPES
Aluminum substrate perfectly suited for electroplating
– Excellent thermal conduction
– Resistant to flame, moisture and chemicals
