Lohtragon® B67, based on Sodium Formate (CAS No. 141-53-7), plays a crucial role in electroplating applications. It serves as a buffering agent, regulating the bath’s pH to maintain plating consistency. Additionally, its mild reducing properties support metal ion deposition, particularly in non-cyanide silver and gold plating baths. Acting as a complexing agent, Sodium Formate helps manage free metal ion concentrations, promoting uniform deposition and resulting in smooth, high-quality metal coatings with improved brightness and adhesion.
Sodium Formate enhances the bonding between metal layers and substrates. By stabilizing pH levels, it ensures even coating distribution, leading to a more durable and long-lasting finish.
Summarized the key benefits of Sodium Formate in electroplating are:
Lohtragon® B67 also serves as an environmentally conscious alternative for de-icing applications. As a de-icing agent, it efficiently melts ice and snow while minimizing environmental impact. Unlike conventional salt-based de-icers, Sodium Formate is significantly less corrosive and typically does not leave behind residue, helping to maintain cleaner surfaces and reduce damage to infrastructure. This makes it a safer and more sustainable choice for winter maintenance. Benefit from:
