Our Services

Our company offers a range of metal finishing services, including electroless nickel plating, post EN plating aging process, zinc electroplating, powder coating, and custom masking. Each service is designed to meet the specific needs of our clients and enhance the quality of their products.

• Electroless Nickel Plating: This process provides a uniform plating deposit over complex surface geometries such as threads, blind holes, grooves, slots, and the inner diameter of tubing. We offer low phosphorus, mid phosphorous, and high phosphorus EN plating options, each with unique deposit properties. Low phosphorus EN (<5% by weight) yields a hard deposit as plated with excellent wear resistance.

• Post EN Plating Aging Process: This process is designed to enhance the hardness and wear resistance of electroless nickel deposits. The aging process can be applied to various EN deposits to achieve specific properties such as improved corrosion resistance and ductility.

• Zinc Electroplating: Zinc electroplating is a popular method for protecting steel and other metals from corrosion. This process involves the electrochemical reaction of zinc ions with the base metal to form a protective layer. Zinc electroplating offers excellent corrosion protection and can be used as a base coat for other finishes.

• Powder Coating: Powder coating is a dry finishing process that uses finely ground particles of pigment and resin to create a protective and decorative finish. This method is environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and offers excellent durability and resistance to chipping and fading.

• Custom Masking: Our custom masking services are designed to ensure that only specific areas of a product receive the desired finish. We use various masking materials and techniques to protect areas from unwanted plating or coating, resulting in precise and accurate finishes.
