Electroplating / Zinc Coating

Electroplating (also called electrodeposition) refers to the electrochemical deposition of metallic coatings onto substrates (components).

For functional galvanizing, both rack plating and barrel plating are used. The galvanic electrolyte applied is a zinc electrolyte.

We perform acid zinc plating and passivation using cobalt-containing (Eloc6 / Kampschulte) solutions, free from hexavalent chromium (Cr VI). Coating thicknesses of up to 20 µm can be achieved, depending on customer requirements.

Our plating bath has a capacity of 3,200 liters and allows the processing of parts up to 2 × 1 m in size. Prior to plating, the parts are thoroughly cleaned, degreased (and derusted if necessary) in several steps, ensuring optimal preparation for the process.

This guarantees a high level of corrosion protection tailored to practical applications.

For additional protection, surfaces can also be sealed after plating.

For cost-efficient plating of small parts, we offer barrel plating. In accordance with legal requirements, all wastewater generated is treated in our in-house industrial wastewater treatment facility.
