ELECTROPLATING

Nickel Plating is the most widely used process in surface finishing technology. Its applications vary from decora- tive to industrial finishes. The changing patterns of market demand have in the last decade, shifted emphasis from aesthetics to quality and durability. We have developed special processes to provide the outstanding proper- ties of corrosion resistance with extremely good aesthetic values. Process technologies involving multi-layer deposits enable high anti-corrosion standards, at nominal thickness.

Zinc plating offers an economical option for decorative and industrial finishes on metallic substrates. It is possibly second to only nickel with respect to plating applications. Depending upon the practicality of your application, you can choose frorm a conventional high cyanide zinc plating process to the most modern chloride or other non cyanide alkaline based processes which are, more recently preferred for environmental reasons

Chrome plating in a decorative nickel chrome system provides a tarnish resistant, pleasing bluish, brilliant, clear deposit on nickel plating. The deposit is hard and therefore resistant to abrasion and wear. In addition, hard chromium is widely used for gauges, cutting tools, metal forming, drawing dies, machine parts such as piston rings, cylinder liners , crank shafts for marine and aeroplane engines, bearing hydraulic gears, salvage of worn and defective machinery parts, molds and printing rollers.

Cadmium is a soft white metal that, when plated onto steel, cast iron, malleable iron, copper, and powdered metal, functions as a "sacrificial coating," corroding before the substrate material. 

Copper has unique antimicrobial properties. Copper plating on high-touch surfaces such as door handles can reduce the spread of viruses. This NIH bulletin notes that the COVID19 virus duration on copper surfaces is up to 10 times shorter on copper vs. stainless steel. 

Tin plating is the process of depositing a coating of solderable tin plating onto the surface of a material via an electrical current. Electroplating tin is an extremely cost-effective process. This is due to tin being so readily available and much less expensive than metals such as gold, platinum or palladium.
