We recognized very early that we; as a middle-sized company; have to focus on R&D in order to procreate products with which it can distinguish itself from its competitors.

.

Since 1990, Vopelius Chemie AG has dealt with R&D with the following results:

.

Development of an electrolytic synthesis of tin salts and salts of the methane sulfonic acid.

.

Patenting of the TIN-COAT^® process for chemical tinning of motor pistons.
.

Development of an electrolytic process for the production of nickel hypophosphite and hypo phosphoric acid.

.

Development of a procedure for the recycling of sodium dichromate from used chrome bathes of electroplating shops.

.

Development of a hard chrome process for the production of functional resistant hard chrome layers using a catalyst of the third generation.
.

Development of a complete process for the electroplating of gravure printing cylinders for the graphic industry.

.

In future, the following projects are planned:
.

Synthesis of a 3-value chrome component for use as passivation in the electroplating industry instead of 6- value chrome.

.

Development of an automatic dosing device for chromic acid for the constant bath guide during the electroplating process.

.

Development of a plant technology for continuous cleaning of chrome bathes during the thin sheet production.
