Electroless Nickel Plating Chemistry for Industrial Finishing

Electroless Nickel Plating Chemistry for Industrial Finishing

Technic offers state-of-the-art electroless nickel plating chemistry for industrial surface finishing applications.

The electroless plating process does not involve applying electricity directly to the metal surface; instead, it relies on the oxidation-reduction (red-ox) reaction between nickel and phosphorous allowed by the catalyst. Electroless plating, used on aluminum, steel and metal alloy surfaces (among others), is often chosen when specific physical characteristics of the deposit are required.

Technic’s selection of electroless nickel plating processes are designed to improve the characteristics of metal surfaces, such as increasing corrosion resistance, hardness and covering power, and improving appearance. Electroless nickel products include low, medium and high phosphorous solutions in order to satisfy all of our customers’ needs. Typically, high phosphorus content enhances corrosion resistance, however, at the same time it could reduce metal surface hardness.
