Explore the application. 

Surface finishing, also known as electroplating or galvanoplasty, is the process of enhancing or protecting the surface of materials. The purpose of this process, often through electrochemical methods, is to:

  • improve performance, such as by increasing conductivity

  • increase durability of materials, for example, increase wear resistance and reduce corrosion

  • enhance one's appearance in the case of decorative fixtures and jewelry.

The process of surface finishing, whether on plastic or metal, is vital to many industries. Surface enhanced products are utilized in a wide variety of markets including automotive industries, building/construction, infrastructure and consumer goods industries (like bathroom fittings, appliances, jewelry, electronics, and various others).

The surface finishing process is essential for delivering high quality electroplated products that industries demand, and De Nora’s DSA® anodes make it possible by ensuring:

Optimized solutions & quality results.

DSA® anodes are exceptionally long-lived even at very high density or severe operating conditions to enable stable operation.

De Nora anodes enable our technical experts to optimize the best product for your application by selecting the base structure, applying a unique intermediate layer for base protection, and offering a coating formula to best enhance your plated product quality. 

Efficient solutions mean cost savings.

Operating costs can be reduced due to energy savings, consistent throwing power, and reduced additive consumption. 

Insoluble mixed metal oxide (MMO) anodes outperform traditional soluble anodes in operation, thus requiring less maintenance and operational downtime. Additionally, in most cases, DSA anodes can be refurbished- also contributing to cost savings (versus buying new).

Consistency & durable products.

De Nora anode quality is consistent due to stringent manufacturing procedures, thus ensuring surface finishing product quality is also consistent and uniform- meeting industry requirements.
