Double the Bath Life with One-Plate®

It has been normal in the EN industry for decades to dispose of high phosphorous EN baths around 5 metal turnovers (MTO's).  This is for two main reasons.  First, the plating rate of the bath gets too slow as the bath gets older.  Second, the stress in the coating makes it less corrosion resistant even if the % phosphorous is still high.

 

With One-Plate®, now there is a breakthrough solution to take a high phosphorous bath and convert it into a medium phosphorous bath.  This can double the life of the bath and cut the waste in half.  Here’s how simple it is to do this:

 

1. Make up a new bath with One-Plate® 2001 Q-2.0

2. Operate the bath like normal and make high phosphorous EN up to as many MTO’s as desired

3. Add One-Plate® 1001 S

4. Replenish the bath with One-Plate® 1001 Q

5. Now the bath will produce a beautiful medium phosphorous EN coating

6. Operate the bath until the end of its useful life, and dispose of the bath as normal

 

It is possible to achieve 5 MTO’s of high phos EN and then another 5 MTO’s of medium phos EN, This concept was tested with old fashioned three component systems, and it only works optimally with the One-Plate® single components that have been formulated to work effectively in this way.

 

This patent pending process is now available, and your One-Plate® supplier can support you use of this innovative application of the single component One-Plate® technology.
