BEC Announces:

Bismuth Electroplating Solution

Brooktronics has developed a bismuth brush plating solution available in both

alkaline based (BEC 65) and acid based (BEC 66) formulas.

This solution is designed to plate a high purity bismuth coating directly onto most metals,

such as copper, nickel and gold. Other metals such as aluminum may require a nickel

strike for improved adhesion. For more information please contact Brooktronics to 

evaluate how this product can meet your requirements. 

BEC 455 has proven itself as the only portable and effective repair procedure for IVD Aluminum and features:

• Exceeds the corrosion resistant requirements of MIL-C-83488C Class 1 and Class 2.
• No bi-metallic corrosion of the IVD coating, base metal of the Zinc-Tin coating.
• Conformance to low hydrogen embrittlement requirements and does not require a post plate bake.
• The deposit can be plated over steel base metals and existing IVD Coatings with excellent adhesion.

BEC 455 is an environmentally friendly replacement for Cadmium that exceeds the requirements of QQ-P-416 and features:

• Salt spray corrosion resistance in excess of Type I and Type II Requirements.
• Conformance to low hydrogen embrittlement requirements and does not require a post plate bake.
• The deposit can be plated over the steel base metals and existing Cadmium plating.

The Boric-Sulfuric Anodize exceeds the requirements of MIL-A-8625, Type I and features:

• salt spray corrosion resistance in excess of 336 hours without post anodic sealing.
• easy room temperature application for selective anodize applications.
• environmentally compliant solution minimizes hazards to technicians and environment.
