PFORZHEIM, Germany - AMI DODUCO, a Technitrol (NYSE:TNL) Company, announced the availability of SILVERBRITE W ATPS, its latest anti-tarnish silver protection agent for silver. The liquid concentrate is specially formulated to protect silver surfaces from tarnish-causing atmospheric sulfur compounds. It can protect the beauty of decorative silver as well as the performance of silver-based electrical contact parts and coatings.

Like its predecessor, the time-tested SILVERBRITE W, SILVERBRITE W ATPS is completely organic and, in diluted form, biodegradable. Because it is a liquid concentrate, the new version of SILVERBRITE is more easily diluted to working strength.

Tarnishing changes not only the appearance of silver, but also its electrical properties such as contact resistance and conductivity. While guarding against tarnish, SILVERBRITE W ATPS will not affect the soldering and bonding characteristics of silver. What’s more, plug and pull forces, which can impair contact performance, are reduced significantly.

Headquartered in Export, Pennsylvania, AMI DODUCO is a global leader in electrical contact technology and fabrication. The company supplies contacts and assemblies, contact materials, thermostatic and laminated metal products, electroplating and surface treatment services, and precious metal refining and recycling to more than 3,000 customers. AMI DODUCO operates from locations in North America, Europe and Asia. The company’s website is www.amidoduco.com.
