The surface treatment and galvanic sector is currently undergoing a profound transformation Today, industries ranging from luxury jewelry and high fashion to aerospace, automotive, and electronics face increasingly complex analytical challenges to achieve "zero-defect manufacturing" while optimizing costs and sustainability.

CDR GalvanLab® an innovative, compact, and versatile chemical analysis system

Across all these diverse supply chains, whether dealing with a gold bath for a luxury watch or a palladium deposit for an aerospace connector, every matrix presents extremely delicate chemical balances To ensure coating adhesion, aesthetic and functional reproducibility, and regulatory compliance, these balances must be rigorously monitored.

However, relying on long waiting times for external laboratories or conducting retroactive inspections can cause severe delays and costly rework.

That is why we developed CDR GalvanLab®, an innovative, compact, and versatile chemical analysis system designed to support quality control directly on the production line. Using simplified methods and pre-vialed, ready-to-use reagents, our system allows even non-expert operators to perform rapid and reliable tests in just a few minutes, drastically reducing the need for complex laboratory glassware and hazardous chemical handling.

The precise, real-time control

Whether you operate a large, highly automated industrial center or a smaller artisanal business, CDR GalvanLab® is fully adaptable to your workflow. It allows for the precise, real-time control of:

  • Electroplating Baths: Monitor precious and base metals (such as Gold, Silver, Rhodium, Copper, and Nickel), as well as organic components and vital chemical balances.
  • Process Water: Check essential parameters like Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Chlorides, and Sulfates to detect contaminations, prevent defects, and avoid equipment corrosion.
  • Pollutants: Detect imperceptible ion accumulations (like Copper in Ruthenium baths) that could trigger late oxidations or structural fragility months after deposition has occurred.
  • Precious Metal Recovery: Analyze static rinse tanks subject to the drag-out effect to accurately estimate metal content (Gold, Palladium, Rhodium) for internal recovery, effectively preventing capital loss.

By transferring the reliability and rigor of a traditional chemical laboratory directly to your production tanks, CDR GalvanLab® transforms quality control from a necessary cost into a truly strategic tool. Preventing defects, optimizing resources, and eliminating downtime means guaranteeing the excellence of your final product
