Plating Chemicals Overview

At the core of any plating shop or system is the plating process. After the metal prep, metal cleaner and activation steps have treated the surfaces, the true art of applying the metal plating material to the surface begins. Whether it’s electroplating or electroless plating, the quality of the metal being applied is most important. We provide a comprehensive range of plating chemicals such as zinc, zinc alloy, copper, nickel, chrome, black nickel, composite electroless nickels, silver and even chrome substitutes. Each has its own unique variations and chemical properties.

Our product offerings includes but not limited to:

  • All types of plating bath solutions; Zinc, Cadmium, Nickel, Copper, Chrome, Alloys and Electroless Nickel.
  • Pre-Paint/Powder conversion coating solutions.
  • Specialty chemicals: Anodize dyes, seals, electropolish, black oxide and chem film.
  • Industrial Silver-plating solutions.
  • PFOS/PFAS Free Chrome fume suppressants & Trivalent Chrome chemistries.

Additionally, we feature industry leading processes such as KeyKote 36 for phosphate coating and the innovative one component electroless nickel, One-Plate bath solution.
