• Electroplating

    A variety of electroplating products.

Today, ACC’s niche is high-grade sweeps and hazardous waste streams but our roots are deeply entwined in electroplating chemistries.  In the 1920’s family patriarch Joseph A. Smith invented the first heavy gold electroplating process.  In 1954, Paul T. Smith invented and patented a Non-Cyanide Gold bath known today as Sulfite Gold.  Those traditions continue to this day.  See below for our product offerings.  For Pricing, Tech Data & SDS sheets or to place an order:  email  - products@advchem.com

FEATURED PRODUCT

ContrAul Gold Stripper II

Specially formulated to strip gold from base metal substrates quickly and easily.

  • shipped as a liquid concentrate
  • simply add water and Potassium Cyanide to make up final stripping solution
  • will not attack nickel, kovar, stainless steel, or steel
  • easily operates at room temperature;
  • increasing the temperature will substantially increase stripping rate
  • eliminates crystallization of gold salts and reduces drag-out losses
  • gold remains in solution, allowing for an accurate assay on the gold metal contained
  • strip solution can be sent to ACC for refining and disposal
  • gold can be plated out from solution onto cathodes and captured through filters & resins
  • solution, plate-outs, fitters and resins can be sent to ACC for refining
  • shipping options include 5-gallon plastic containers or 55-gallon drums
