STAPLETON TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Information

Stapleton Technologies manufactures specialty autocatalytic processes for metalization of wafers, conventional electroless nickel processes, closed loop electroless nickel processes, and a family of electrolytic and pretreatment chemical processes. These processes and services are used by semiconductor, electronic, microelectronics, industrial and military organizations around the world. Stapleton Company was founded by Richard Stapleton in 1957 and has been providing electroless processes since 1960. During the last 50 years Stapleton Technologies has developed several unique and special technologies which are being used worldwide. Stapleton owns both US and foreign patents and has several patents pending. During the early 1980s facilities were opened in Chicago and England where processes and technologies were provided regionally. Today Stapleton Electroless Technologies are available worldwide serving a wide range of industries and applications. In 1994 Phillip Stapleton received a patent on joining electroless nickel plated pipe utilizing a special flange which prevents damage to the electroless coating. This technology is being developed to produce a system to deliver electroless clad pipelines using automated orbital welding equipment. This will yield lower costing installations with higher performance and reduced environmental risk. In 1994 Stapleton Technologies received the R&D100 Award for the development of ENFINITY Electroless Nickel Plating System. This award is given to the top 100 inventions in the nation during the year and past winners include the CD, VCR, halogen lights and anti-lock braking. Both Battelle Memorial Institute and the Armstrong Laboratory of the Department of Defense were involved in the study and demonstration of the process for use at military facilities and the elimination of hazardous waste produced by the electroless process. The ENFINITY process eliminates the need to dispose of the electroless nickel process and delivers a 1000 metal turnovers plating solution. The ...
