GoldEX KIT(TM): Gold Etch and Recovery Sample and Demonstration Kit
Woburn, MA --- Union Etchants Inc., a leader in environment friendly stock and custom-formulated products, including gold conductor, chrome, and gallium phosphide etchants and gold recovery products, has announced the introduction of its new patent-pending GoldEX KIT(TM): Gold Etch and Recovery Sample and Demonstration Kit.
"Gold continues to be an essential component in critical-use products including medical devices and telecommunications," said Robert Union, Union Etchants International president. "We have created this Kit to provide a user-friendly method for training centers and corporations to evaluate the benefits of wet etching of gold, which is both effective and better for the environment than the more corrosive methodologies.
The GoldEX KIT(TM) includes samples of all the components used in the wet gold etching process and for the recovery of the spent gold. These components include the gold-plated Ti:Al subtrates, AU1 Gold Etchant, UnionCleaner, and GOLDOUT(TM). Sufficient quantities are supplied to etch and recover gold from the substrates provided.
The GoldEX KIT(TM) is available this month . Information is posted on the company's Web site, unionetchants.com. For pricing information call 781-935-8878; or email, unionetch1@rcn.com.
"For over 25 years, we have been committed to providing products that minimize ecological harm," Union said. " We believe that if decision makers within the electronics industry have an easier way to learn about our products, they will consider incorporating them into their manufacturing processes especially the manufacture of critical use products."
"We recently received a positive evaluation of the kit from the TURI Surface Solutions Laboratory at the University of Massachusetts in Lowell (www.turi.org) and we are looking forward to providing kits throughout the industry."
