The Electrical Equipment Industry is growing thanks to the booming of infrastructures linked to the Internet and Telecom. However, other Energy, Building and Consumer Goods Industries are maintaining a high and long-term demand.
Processes
Clear blue films are generally preferred to blue passivate thin films. They provide a good level of corrosion protection and electrical conductivity. In accordance to such requirements, LANTHANE and FINIDIP processes, both Cr (III) passivate coatings, are entirely compliant with the latest WEEE European Directives.
LANTHANE and FINIDIP are available in yellow and black and on pure Zinc and Zinc alloys.
ENOVA Electroless Nickel is often used as a base Layer for High Frequency Antennas and Connectors in this market. EN deposits provide an homogenious Layer wich protects the Substrate against corrosion.
Innovations
The RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) European Directives entered into force on July, 1st, 2006.
The Directives require the elimination of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and hexavalent Chromium in all equipment sold in Europe. COVENTYA provides all colours in new trivalent passivations to comply with the RoHS/WEEE Directives.
