Providing the finishing you need
Plating
- Zinc: Offers excellent corrosion protection and is economical. Zinc is hard and brittle but becomes pliable if subjected to extreme heat. Produces a smooth, clean finish.
- Nickel: Enhances the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and hardness of stainless steel. It also makes it easier to solder, improves its resistance to radiation and increases its electrical conductivity. Produces a smooth, even coating.
- Chrome: Ideal for environments that with low oxygen or reduced air circulation. Gives stainless steel added durability to withstand regular wear and tear. Adds a distinctive, shiny look.
Powder coating
Powder coating for metal fabrication provides superior protection. Components are coated with dry powder using a multi-step process and creates a layer resistant to chipping, cracking, and peeling. Powder coating provides durability and is usually environmentally friendlier than paint-based liquid finishes.
Electropolishing
Stainless steel electropolishing services remove material from a metal component, reducing surface roughness and improving the surface finish. Used to polish, passivate, and deburr metal parts. Aesthetically pleasing. Creates a clean, smooth surface easier to clean.
Nylon coating
Nylon coating is commonly used to protect steel and aluminum. Applied either electrostatically or in a fluid bed. Protects from corrosion, impact and abrasion. Also provides noise reduction, chemical resistance, UV exposure.
Vinyl coating
Vinyl coating protects metals from potentially hazardous ultraviolet rays, abrasion, and corrosion. Also offers chemical and electrical resistance, low surface friction, and substantial impact protection, which improves durability. Ideal finish for storage racks, wire fabrication, and outdoor furniture.
