Are you utilizing the best practices to manage precious metals in your processes?​

• Amp-Min based pricing vs. multiplier based pricing. (Don't under / over price yourself)

• Do you reclaim precious metals from your rinse streams or DI?

• As a plating shop, you should have AT LEAST four streams of PM reclaim per process. Do you? 

• Do you send your liquid solutions for reclaim without treatment? 

• With optimum tracking, you can recover 30-40% of your cost!
