Corrosion Protection: One of the most common reasons for the use of electroplating is to increase an items resistance to corrosion. Zinc, nickel and chrome are all ideal for this. We offer a wide range of plating options including multiple coats and specialist sealants, lacquers and oils. We also have the technology to analyse the thickness of a surface coating, and to carry out salt spray testing.
