Nickel Plating Chips™ are a high purity form of nickel specifically designed for electroplating with titanium anode baskets. Chips™ are produced by a unique carbonyl gas refining process at the Copper Cliff Nickel Refinery in Sudbury, Canada.

The controlled and consistent purity of Chips™ and the advantages associated with its distinctive shape make this product attractive for general purpose plating with titanium anode baskets:

• Carbonyl refining produces the purest form of nickel available

• Unique shape prevents the formation of bridges and voids in the basket

• Settles uniformly in basket, ensuring uniform current density and high quality deposits

• Flows easily into regular baskets with standard mesh sizes

• Safe to handle (no sharp edges)

• Dissolves at 100% anode efficiency in common nickel plating solutions (containing chlorides)

• Proven and trusted by the world's leading electroplaters

Dissolution produces a small amount of metallic residue which can be contained using cloth anode bags.

Chips™ are produced in compliance with the following ISO standards: ISO 9001:2008.
