SPI Replacement Sputter Coater Cathodes

Precious metals recycling program


When the "remains" of the spent cathode are returned to SPI Supplies, at the time of placement of a new order for a replacement sputter coater cathode, SPI will grant a 10% discount off the purchase price of the new cathode.

We believe that this is the responsible way to approach the disposition of spent cathodes, since after all, we are talking about non-renewable resources.

Follow this simple procedure:

1. Send us an e-mail message.

2. Make sure that your purchasing department issues the appropriate purchase order for the shipment of the replacement cathodes.

Should you return spent cathode "left overs" in excess of the number of cathodes being ordered, some additional credit may be given, however the extent of that additional credit will be at the sole discretion of SPI.

We thank you for participating in the SPI Precious Metals Recycling Program. We take our responsibilities for environmental protection and non-renewable resource conservation very seriously. If you have any questions about our program, in operation since 1980, please let us know. Over the years of the existence of this program, literally hundreds of users of sputter coaters in the microscopy and microanalysis market have been able to have their spent cathodes recycled. Additionally, those participating have also enjoyed the benefit of reduced prices on purchased replacement cathodes.

If you should have any suggestions as to how we might be able to expand our recycling program let us know. We are always open to suggestions.
