Give working surfaces hardness, wear and corrosion resistance.
Hard chromium and electroless nickel plating chemicals for functional layers — hardness, wear and corrosion resistance, and the uniform thickness of electroless nickel.
Products
We supply the chemicals for these processes; series names and technical data are shared per application.
Hard chromium plating
Chromium electrolytes depositing thick functional chromium on rods, shafts and tools.
Trivalent hard chromium
Functional chromium deposited from trivalent chemistry as a chromic-acid alternative.
Low- and mid-phosphorus electroless nickel
Nickel-phosphorus deposits chosen mainly for hardness, wear and uniform thickness.
High-phosphorus electroless nickel
Amorphous, non-magnetic nickel-phosphorus deposits chosen mainly for chemical resistance.
Composite electroless nickel
Electroless nickel with co-deposited PTFE or hard particles such as silicon carbide.
Hard chromium auxiliaries
Mist suppressants and chromium strippers used alongside hard chromium electrolytes.
