Cyanide and cyanide compounds used in electroplating are highly toxic to human and aquatic life even at low concentrations..With MIRDC’s  developed non-cyanide electroplating processes, the use of cyanide compounds in gold plating process starting from the copper plating up to the gold plating will be eliminated. The developed non-cyanide plating solutions are good replacement for cyanide plating baths. Thus, cyanide-free plating processes definitely leads to a cleaner and safer working environment.Benefits that can be derived using the developed non-cyanide electroplating processes are as follows:

• Eliminates the dangers inherent in using cyanide and cyanide compounds;
• Improves employee health and safety;
• Reduces pollution to environment;
• Simplifies the waste treatment process; and
• Reduces waste treatment costs by eliminating cyanide waste treatment
