Cadmium Container Hardware

Cadmium parachute hardware is available on all Apex harness and container systems. It provides a durable and less expensive option to stainless steel hardware. Cadmium plating (or "cad plating") offers a long list of technical advantages such as excellent corrosion resistance even at relatively low thickness and in salt atmospheres, softness and malleability, freedom from sticky and/or bulky corrosion products, can be dyed to many colors and clear, and works well either as a final finish or as a paint base.
