Nickel Chrome Plating

Our Nickel Chrome Plating is the best in the industry. Our process includes three layers of nickel and one layer of discontinuous chrome. The first layer of nickel is for adhesion; the second layer of nickel is for luster and corrosion resistance; and the third nickel layer interacts with the microporous chrome layer to disperse nature's corrosive action (rust).

Trivalent Zinc

Zinc plating is a valuable tool to combat the corrosion of steel. The zinc corrodes before the steel does, allowing the steel to go unmarred. A bond is created between the zinc and steel forming an iron rich alloy. The process can be considered an excellent primer for paint surfaces, with the paint protecting the zinc, giving a lasting protection. Rust, which gets under paint films and lifts them from the steel, will be inhibited from forming because of zinc plating.

Trivalent Chromate Plating is more environmentally friendly than Hexavalent Chromate and provides excellent corrosion protection. A topcoat (or sealer) can be added to the plating process for added protection.

Rack Plating:

  • No hexavalent chromium to handle
  • Eliminates chrome reduction in the waste treatment
  • Excellent bright color
  • Manufactured under strict SPC monitoring
  • Corrosion resistance with less than 5% after 150 hours neutral salt spray
  • Exceeds 250 hours to white salts with use of topcoat
