The adhesive technique is a special combination of the strip and immersion technique. It is used to obtain stripes of unplated zones on strips. Here, continuous adhesive stripes with a defined width are applied to the front and/or back of the strip prior to plating. Multi-strip masking is possible with this method. In the area of the adhesive stripe edges, the strips must be unstamped over the entire surface. Electro-plating is then carried out in an immersion process. At the end of the process, the applied adhesive stripes are removed again without leaving any residue.
