This process involves submerging conductive items into an electrolytic bath which contains various salts and the plating material. Then, the item is negatively charged (the cathode) and positive electrodes (anodes) are added. A direct current is passed through the solution, and this causes the metal to adhere to the cathode which forms a new metal layer.
If you are looking for a traditional finish, brass plating is a great choice. We can also offer specialist brass finishes such as brushed and antique.
Nickel plating provides corrosion resistance, improved durability, increased hardness and enhanced conductivity.
This service is more cost-effective than solid gold, but still provides a luxury aesthetic to many base metals.
We offer various colour hues for copper plating, as well as bright, dull, semi-bright and satin finishes.
Chrome plating is very popular due to its appearance, and it can be lacquered and buffed to achieve different finishes.
Yes, we also have experience applying metal coatings on plastics with electroless plating. This is similar to the traditional method, but doesn’t require a direct current. The solution used causes several chemical reactions that cause the plastic to become negatively charged. It therefore draws the metal ions to its surface to form an even coating.
It is the process of applying a thin layer of copper, brass nickel, gold or chrome to the surface of another metal or plastic.
There are numerous benefits of electroplating, including corrosion resistance, reducing friction, increases adhesion, thickens metal, creates shine and much more.
