Summary for iridite 17p availability Discussion
Iridite 17p availability is the focus keyphrase here, and the thread is very short: Ziggy asks whether Iridite 17P is still available for copper-alloy passivation. Ted Mooney replies that, because it is a hexavalent chromium-based formulation, he strongly doubts it is still available. The editor’s note says the RFQ is outdated but technical replies are welcome, and readers are encouraged to post their own RFQs. No alternate product suggestions or conflicting technical opinions appear in the excerpt, so the practical takeaway is simply that Iridite 17P is likely no longer obtainable in its original form.
⇦ Tip: Readers like to learn from others’ situations;
some readers skip abstract questions.

A. Hi.
Being a hexavalent chromium based formulation, I strongly doubt it.
Luck & Regards,

RFQ: I need Iridite 7p and 17p for copper alloys passivation on waveguides. Some old mechanical drawings request these surface treatments on waveguide assemblies.
I don’t know if they are powders or other because we never see them.
If they are powders we need about 20 Kg. (More in future?)
Please contact me by mail, thank You.

Q. Where or how can I get an MSDS or SDS for CHROMATE COMPOUND equivalent to IRIDITE 17P immersion solution?

A. Hi Wilhelm. Iridite is a MacDermid trade name, so that is who will have the MSDS/SDS for you if the product is still on offer, which I doubt. Try macdermid.com
