Black nickel plating results in a dense black nickel finish onto any metal.
Specialists in
Our Bright Tin process produces a fully bright finish.
In addition to its pleasing appearance, it possesses remarkable corrosion resistance.
It has good solder ability, resistance to finger staining and has an excellent shelf life.
The Bright Tin process is used extensively in the electrical and electronics industries as well as on a wide variety of hardware, domestic and decorative articles.
Zinc is primarily used as a coating for steel and provides excellent corrosion protection, although it can be plated onto other metals.
Thicknesses of up to 25 microns are normal and passivation treatments make the plating resistant to finger marking, while also providing a good base for painting.
The passivation finishes include Clear, Colour (iridescent), Black and Olive drab.
The Copper plating process is suitable for plating on steel and Zinc die-
Thicknesses can be in the range of 5microns to 75 microns, depending on the application
Copper is normally used as an undercoat for Nickel, Silver or Tin.
Silver Plating gives a bright finish that has excellent electrical conductivity making it ideal for electrical applications.
Silver normally has either a Nickel or Copper undercoat.
It is resistant to most common acids.
Its conductivity makes it ideal for electronic contacts, other applications include light reflectors.
