Silver plating is one of the oldest forms of electroplating and for many years silver plating was referred to as "electroplating"

because it was the only form of this technology known to the general public.

Silver plating was originally used to plate tableware and other domestic products for those who could not afford items made from solid silver. This use is still one of the major uses of silver plating however there are other uses in the form of industrial silver plating

of electrical products as silver is the best metallic electrical conductor this is widely used in this industry

As a decorative finish silver has the disadvantage that it is subject to tarnishing that detracts from the finish.

Tarnishing of decorative silver deposits can be reduced by anti-tarnish treatments or by lacquering and for this we use Clearlyte* electrophoretic lacquer.

Silvergleam can offer a range of silver plating processes from heavy deposits for industry with still and barrel processes or bright decorative finishes with or without Clearlyte*
