One of the lesser known, most unique, least expensive, and trouble free
Palladium plating systems is offered by RD Chemical Company.  It is called
the Paladin(TM) system, and it is the  only IMMERSION Palladium plating
system available commercially, as compared to the other ELECTROLESS Palladium
plating systems.

Immersion plating systems (versus electroless) are much easier to run, much
less prone to give you spurious, or unwanted plating, much less expensive,
and are self limiting.  The deposits tend to be less porous, and smoother
than electroless, because they are metal exchange plating systems, and will
plate only on to a specific substrate, in this case Copper, and when all the
Copper is covered, plating ceases.

The bath is a fabricators dream come true, because it is possible to put a
lid on the bath for a year, come back, heat it up, and it will plate like it
did a year ago.  There are only two controls, pH, and metal content.  And
further, it does not build Copper in the bath, as when the Copper builds to
150 ppm, it starts falling out, and is simply filtered out.

Apologies to those offended by any potentially commercial aspects that they
believe they see in this message.  Further information cheerfully available
off line.
