The DFI Group (DFI) has a long history of concern for environmental protection and strives to stay abreast of all environmental regulations that relate to our industry. This document is intended to inform our customers about DFI’s ability to provide electroplated finishes which are RoHS compliant.

 

DFI-Electroplating declares that lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls, polybrominated diphenyl ethers, pentabromodiphenyl ether and octabromodiphenyl ether are not intentionally added to the following plating finishes and therefore are compliant to Directive 2011/65/EC:

 

• Chemical Film

• Copper

• Ebonol-C

• Electrolytic Nickel

• Electroless Nickel- Boron

• Electroless Nickel- Phosphorous (6-8% P, 9-12% P)

• Gold- Soft (ASTM Type III)

• Gold- Hard (ASTM Type I, II)

• Silver

• Tin (Pure Matte & Pure Bright)
• Zinc

 

Tin Lead has been a commonly accepted plating finish in the connector field. DFI will continue to supply this finish when specified by our customers. Certification of compliance with RoHS can not be provided for parts plated with this finish.

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of our chemical or plating bath suppliers use these banned substances in their products and DFI does not intentionally add these banned substances to their plating solutions, with the exception of those noted above. Please note that DFI and its suppliers do not analyze its products for substances not purposely added. Trace amounts of any chemical and substance may be found as impurities in any product. This certification is subject to change without notice.
