Especially in RF and mm-wave technologies but also in medical applications silver 

coatings are opening various applications.

Silver is essentially as conductive as copper but provides superior corrosion resistance. An additional advantage of our process is the ability to apply the silver over a copper layer, creating a thicker coating at a lower cost than using pure silver alone. This combination provides excellent conductivity and durability, making it a cost-effective solution whenever thick coatings are required, e.g., to conduct high currents or resist strong heating.

Silver is also biocompatible, which makes it an ideal choice for medical and life science applications such as implantable devices where contact to living tissue or cells is required.
