The SurTec team of experts will present its products at booth 71. In addition, two experts from the company will give presentations. For example, Dr. Sven Neudeck, Team Leader Research and Development Decorative Electroplating, will address the question of how a completely chromium(VI)-free chrome plating on plastic can be achieved from pretreatment to the final layer. To this end, he presents a decorative process in which a manganese-based plastic pretreatment with a novel catalyst system significantly simplifies the process flow.
Marco Rösch, Senior Expert Functional Electroplating, will talk about the possibilities of bath optimization by modifying the electrolytes. His presentation will look at various approaches to increasing energy efficiency and what needs to be considered when making the switch. In addition to the focus topics, SurTec will present proven solutions such as alkaline zinc/nickel processes. In addition, there are new passivations with low energy input, such as blue passivation.
