Anode bags for electrolytes rich in organics – PLATE-TEX Brillant for nickel electrolytes

Special anode bags for stable nickel electrolytes and highest surface quality

The WINKLER PLATE-TEX Brillant anode bag was specially developed for electrolytes rich in organics – especially nickel electrolytes with brightening additives. In such baths, organic components and particles can quickly become trapped in the filter fabric and lead to unstable processes.

Thanks to its special design, the PLATE-TEX Brillant ensures consistent filtration down to 25 µm while simultaneously maintaining optimal ion flow in the electrolyte. The result is stable bath voltages, uniform layer thicknesses, and high-quality surfaces.

Typical applications

PLATE-TEX Brillant was developed for electroplating processes where organic components place a particularly high demand on filtration:

• Nickel electrolytes with brightening additives
• Electroplating processes with a high organic content
• Surface finishing with high demands on appearance
• Industrial electroplating and series production
• Anode baskets, plate anodes and stick anodes

In the chemical surface treatment sector of the metal and electronics industries, specialized solutions are in demand. This bag complements our portfolio of high-quality anode bags and ensures stable deposition processes even with challenging electrolyte compositions.

Why standard anode bags reach their limits with organic-rich electrolytes

Standard fabrics can quickly stick together in electrolytes with a high proportion of organic additives. This results in unstable bath voltages , uneven coatings, and increased maintenance.

The PLATE-TEX Brillant was developed precisely for these conditions. Its calendered, non-stick surface significantly reduces deposits and enables consistently stable filtration.

Non-stick surface for reduced maintenance

A key feature of PLATE-TEX Brillant is its calendered inner surface . The thermal smoothing process creates a particularly uniform surface to which organic residues adhere much less readily.

• Easy cleaning: Deposits can be removed more quickly.
• Reduced maintenance time: Shorter cleaning intervals during operation.
• Stable filtration: Consistent permeability over long periods of use.
• Constant bath voltage: More stable electrochemical processes.

Materials & construction for precise electrolyte filtration

The PLATE-TEX Brillant is based on a high-quality polypropylene monofilament fabric . This fabric construction ensures precisely defined pores and uniform filtration.

• Monofilament fabric: Uniform structure for reproducible filtration.
• Polypropylene (PP): Chemically resistant to many galvanic electrolytes.
• Calendered: Thermally smoothed surface with non-stick effect.
• High mechanical stability: Robust design for long service life.

Your advantages in B2B use

PLATE-TEX Brillant was developed for industrial applications where stable electrolytes are crucial for product quality.

• Optimized for nickel electrolytes: Designed for electrolytes with a high organic content.
• Stable bath processes: Uniform filtration for consistent results.
• Reduced maintenance: Non-stick surface makes cleaning easier.
• Constant filtration: 25 µm filter fineness for reliable sludge retention.
• Long service life: Robust filter fabric for industrial applications.
• Custom manufacturing possible: Perfectly fitting for anode baskets and anode shapes.
