Reliability And Stability From A Single High Yield ENIG Plating Process

MacDermid Planar is the electroless nickel immersion gold plating process designed specifically to increase yields through the elimination of extraneous and skip plating, while preventing black pad. Favored by fabricators, assemblers and OEM’s because of its stability and reliability, Planar is
the choice for critical end-use applications.

Planar’s patented catalyst systems are what separate Planar from the competition. They selectively metallize copper surfaces only, which directly eliminates both extraneous plating and skip plating. Formulated by the industry experts in black pad elimination, its high performance Ni structure resists corrosion and is exceptionally compatible with solder masks, improving downstream performance. Combined with our full range of electroless nickel products, Planar provides a durable, extremely flat deposit ideal for fine pitch SMT, BGA and direct-chip attach assembly.

When reliability, stability and high yield are critical, count on the company that says “Yes We Can.” MacDermid
