Applications laboratory

Enthone Inc. has announced the construction of an advanced plating applications laboratory. Located in West Haven, Connecticut, U. S., the laboratory will be completely operational this September. The mission of the applications laboratory and its staff will include:

  • Evaluation and validation of the enterprise’s processes prior to beta-site field testing.
  • In-depth training and demonstration of process capabilities to its personnel and select customers.
  • Identification and implementation of the best processing methodologies and operating windows for the firm’s best-in-class, new and emerging technologies.
  • Collaborative work with key customers to develop unique plating solutions.
The applications laboratory will house multiple, high performance plating lines that will enable processing of functional, decorative and electronic coatings that deliver corrosion protection, wear resistance and superior aesthetics on a variety of parts used in automotive, plumbing, printed wiring board (PWB), and other surface finishing applications.
Specifically, dedicated plating lines for plating-on-plastics, copper/nickel/chrome, passivation processes, surface preparation chemistry, zinc and zinc alloys, hard chrome and electroless nickel will be installed. Additionally, lines for connector and lead-frame precious and base metal plating, as well as PWB fabrication final finishes, oxide replacement alternatives and metallization processes will also be fully operational.
The laboratory will be managed by Robert Collin, Applications and Technology Manager, Enthone Americas, who will also supervise a newly staffed corporate technical service group, as well as chemical technicians solely dedicated to the operation of the applications laboratory. Applications engineers and research and development personnel will also be directly involved with the validation and evaluation of chemistry directly related to their expertise.
Terrance Copeland, Vice President Enthone Americas, states, “The new applications laboratory tangibly demonstrates Enthone’s commitment to supporting our customers. By evaluating and validating new products and processes prior to field testing, the laboratory will help to ensure that performance, environmental and end use requirements are met or exceeded prior to customer installation and start-up.
