Plating and anodizing chemicals and supplies include metal salts, anode materials, formula additives, and other consumables for the electrodeposition or electroplating of metal films or anodized layer formation. Electrodeposition is a process which deposits a metal at the cathode from a solution of its ions. Electroplating places a substrate in a container of metallic salt solution and passes an electric current through the container. Plating and anodizing chemicals and supplies include chrome stripper solutions, nickel activator solutions, and immersion plating solutions, as well as brush plating accessories and platinized titanium anode meshes. For electroplating applications, plating and anodizing chemicals and supplies include the electrode to be plated, a plating anode (a second electrode) to complete the circuit, an electrolyte containing the metal ions to be deposited, and a direct current power source.
