Iridite ⇦ huh? -- Best Basket/Tray Material?

Q. I'm looking for the best pans or trays to use for Iridite ⇦ huh?. Could you point me in the right direction. I'm also looking for the proper procedure to become cert. in Iridite.

Thanks Dan

A. Iridite is a Macdermid brand name for MIL-C-5541 MIL-DTL-5541 [⇦ this spec on DLA] conversion coating processes. Trays can be either stainless steel or polypropylene in my experience. But it may be easier to order them from a plating supply specialist than a general machine shop.

I'm not sure whether you mean that you want MacDermid to certify you as a licensed applicator, or if you're thinking more along the lines of having your shop NADCAP certified for MIL-C-5541.
