Stannous Pyrophosphate

REAXIS® C1001 (Stannous Pyrophosphate) is a highly effective reducing agent used in surface finishing applications, such as electroplating and electroless plating. This surface treatment chemical is instrumental in depositing a thin layer of metal onto a substrate by providing electrons to metal ions in the plating solution, reducing them to a solid metal on the substrate. Stannous Pyrophosphate is widely used in the surface finishing industry for its ability to reduce metal ions such as nickel, cobalt, and copper, among others, resulting in high-quality and durable surface finishes.

Stannous Chloride

REAXIS® Stannous Chloride, in both dihydrate and anhydrous forms, is a highly effective reducing agent used in surface finishing applications, particularly in electroplating processes. By converting metal ions in the plating solution to a solid metal on the substrate, Stannous Chloride helps to create high-quality and durable metal coatings. This surface treatment chemical is particularly useful in reducing metal ions such as tin and lead, making it an essential component in achieving excellent surface finishes.

Stannous Oxide

REAXIS® C188 (Stannous Oxide) is another highly effective reducing agent commonly used in electroless plating processes. This surface treatment chemical provides the reducing power necessary to initiate the plating reaction, resulting in high-quality and durable metal coatings.

Bismuth Methanesulfonate

REAXIS® C719 (Bismuth Methanesulfonate Solution) is a surface treatment chemical used as a corrosion inhibitor and adhesion promoter in electroplating baths. By preventing corrosion and enhancing the electrochemical bond between the substrate and the plating, this bismuth compound helps achieve high-quality and durable metal coatings.

Potassium and Sodium Stannates

In the electroplating and metal finishing sector, Reaxis stannate chemicals, REAXIS® E140 (Potassium Stannate) and REAXIS® E144 (Sodium Stannate) are employed as plating solutions and additives, acting as a source of tin deposits. Stannates are employed in the alkaline tin process. Both sodium and potassium stannates are used in this application with the potassium grade being preferred in high-speed plating applications given its high solubility. Their use in electroplating processes results in improved adhesion, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance for metal components, ensuring durability and performance in various applications, such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace.

Stannous Sulfate Crystal

REAXIS® E155 (Stannous Sulfate Crystal) is a commonly used catalyst in surface finishing applications, particularly in electroless plating solutions. This surface treatment chemical helps initiate the reduction reaction, enabling the deposition of metal onto the substrate without the use of an external electric current. By increasing the rate of the chemical reaction, Stannous Sulfate Crystal is an essential component in achieving high-quality and durable metal coatings.

Stannous Chloride Solutions

Stannous Chloride Solutions are versatile surface treatment chemicals used as sensitizing and reducing agents in surface finishing applications. This surface treatment chemical is an essential component in both electroless plating and electroplating processes, helping activate the substrate surface and convert metal ions in the plating solution to a solid metal on the substrate. With various blends available, including REAXIS® S25, REAXIS® S45, REAXIS® S50, and REAXIS® S72, our stannous chloride solutions offer precise solutions to meet your surface finishing needs.
