Accu-Labs 804
Download Tech Data Sheet
Accu-Labs 804 is an improved brightener process that is typically used in alkaline non-cyanide zinc plating applications. This process produces bright, lustrous zinc plating with excellent throwing power. The deposit readily accepts all types of chromate conversion coatings. Accu-Labs 804 offers uniform thickness and brightness over normal rack and barrel current density ranges, depositing over 0.0005 inch thickness without compromising adhesion or ductility qualities.
The Accu-Labs 804 process uses a highly efficient, concentrated liquid brightener system to produce an exceptional zinc deposit with excellent throwing and superior covering properties. It is recommended for use on complex components and applications, such as computer cabinets. It performs equally well in barrel and rack installations, and offers compatibility with pollution control restrictions. This process does not contain any complexors and chelators.
