MATERIALS

Below is a breakdown of the materials we commonly process. Additional metals may be considered by quote. Feel free to contact us if you have questions about specific materials.

Electronic Components

• Exposed Precious Metals
  
  Any precious metal that is plated onto a component that would allow us to chemically strip it.
• Semi Conductors
  
  Devices used as semiconductors with precious metals on outside or inside of component.
• Printed Circuit Substrates
  
  All types of printed circuit boards with precious metals plated onto the contact areas.

Deposition Scrap

• Plating Solutions
  Gold plating solutions.
• Strip Solutions
  Gold cyanide strip solutions.
• Resins
  Resins used to pull precious metals from solutions.
• Sputtering Residue
  Precious metal residue from sputtering precious metals onto parts. This would include peelings, flake and vacuum collections.
• Targets
  
  All precious metal targets used for deposition.

Crafting Scrap

• Wipes
  Any paper products that come in contact with precious metals.
• Foil
  This would include foil used for overspray of precious metals in deposition. Also any precious metal foil from the peelings inside chambers.
• Leaf
  Gold leaf used in the printing industry.
• Jewelry
  
  Any cleanup from the manufacture of jewelry
• Dental Sweepings
  Any cleanup from the manufacture of dental products.
• Fillings
  Any precious metal fillings accumulated through dental work.
• Polishings
  All polishings related to the manufacture of jewelry and dental products where precious metals are used.
• Wire
  This would be wire used in the racking of parts for precious metal plating. Gold bonding wire and gold wire trimmings from jewelry would also apply.
• Jars
  Many containers have residual precious metals in them and could be burned for reclamation of those metals.
• Filters
  Paper filters that come in contact with precious metals should be accumulated for burning to extract the metal content.

Finishing Goods

• Karat Jewelry
  Any karat or sterling scrap can be melted and assayed for credit.
• Gold Filled
  Though lower in value than Karat material, filled material in quantity can be melted and sampled for credit.
• Plated
  
  Gold plated material can be chemically stripped and assayed for payment.
• Cast Alloys
  Mixed precious metals can be melted, assayed and paid for credit.
• Coins
  We can purchase coins based upon their gold content only.
• Dental Fixtures
  Any materials used in the manufacture of dental products that would contain precious metals.
