Zinc Plating

Zinc plating involves the electrolytic application of zinc by immersing clean steel parts in a zinc salt solution and applying an electric current. We carry six different zinc plating products that are sure to fit your metal plating needs. They include: E-Brite Ultra-Alk, an alkaline non-cyanide zinc plating process; E-Brite Ultra-Chlor AP, a mixed ammonium/potassium chloride bright zinc plating process; E-Brite Ultra-Chlor NA , a non-ammoniated bright chloride zinc plating process, E-Brite ZNI, a patented zinc-nickel alloy process which provides the corrosion resistance of cadmium, and E-Brite 400 a cyanide zinc brightener. Our zinc plating chemicals are suitable for rack or barrel plating and large volume batches. Call 262-786-9330 to order a sample of our zinc plating. Need more information about electro plating zinc?

Benefits of Zinc Plating:

• Ultra bright zinc deposit. Approaching that of chloride zinc.
• Excellent ductility & adhesion. Maintains ductility even with thicknesses in excess of one mil.
• A low stress deposit.
• Superior zinc deposit plate distribution.
• Consistent distribution.
• Excellent chromate conversion coating receptivity.
• Zinc deposit appearance is comparable to cyanide or chloride zinc.
• Operates within wide range of bath chemistry.
• Temperature tolerance up to 120˚F, which reduces cooling costs.
• Excellent brightener stability and brightener life of 30,000 amp hours.
• Suitable for either rack or barrel plating.
• Simple waste treatment procedure.
• A reliable, easy to maintain process.
• It contains no complexers or chelating agents.
• It accepts all hexavalent and trivalent chromates.
