California Plater Expands Facility and Staff
Specialty chemical company MacDermid Inc. expanded Santa Ana, CA, facility with an R&D laboratory to enhance support for West Coast customers and boost product development.
New lab capabilities include High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS), Failure Analysis, and STEP testing.
In addition, MacDermid promoted Scott Strahan to technical sales rep for Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.
MacDermid also added Ryan Scott and Travis Williams to their technical sales team.
Meanwhile, the chemical firm unveiled their latest high-performance trivalent passivate.
TriPass ELV 2500LT is a high corrosion performance passivate
based upon trivalent chromium for use with electroplated zinc deposits.
TriPass ELV 2500LT produces an iridescent passivate film of high visual
appeal onto electroplated zinc deposits from acid and alkaline
electrolytes.
The passivate has high tolerance to metallic contamination, and achieves a long solution life, making it suited for both rack and barrel applications. TriPass ELV 2500LT offers an economical approach to improved performance while retaining its color. When used with an approved topcoat, the passivate
will produce a silver-like finish. It maintains excellent corrosion
resistance even after baking.
