Zinc Nickel Plating
Our zinc nickel plating offers superior and reliable corrosion resistance, with performance exceeding 1,000 hours to red rust in salt spray testing when combined with one of our trivalent chromate sealing options. X-ray fluorescence equipment is used to confirm the appropriate nickel content is present. These quality controls ensure consistent and reliable protection from corrosion.
Clear Chromate
Trivalent chromate plating compliments base zinc nickel plating by offering a sealing option that adds hundreds of hours to the performance of zinc nickel plating. Clear chromate maintains the look of the zinc nickel plating while significantly increasing the corrosion resistance.
Black Chromate
Black trivalent chromate sealer can be used as an alternative to zinc nickel in applications where the high reflectivity of standard zinc nickel plating may be problematic or undesirable. This solution provides excellent corrosion protection while minimizing light reflection properties.
