  • Silver

    Coating for electrical and connector applications requiring excellent conductivity and high reliability.

  • Composite silver

    Advanced coating combining electrical performance with increased wear resistance for demanding technical applications.

  • Nickel

    Technical coating offering wear resistance, surface uniformity and durable performance.

  • Tin

    Coating that promotes electrical conductivity and solderability, particularly suited to electronics and connector applications.

  • Copper

    Coating that improves conductivity and helps subsequent treatments adhere.

  • Zinc

    Electrolytic anti-corrosion coating for steel parts. A reliable, cost-effective solution for many automotive and industrial applications requiring durable protection.

  • Zinc-Nickel / Zinc alloys

    High-performance coating meeting the most demanding requirements of the automotive industry and new mobilities. Excellent salt-spray resistance and long-term stability.

  • Hydrogen de-embrittlement

    Thermal process to limit hydrogen embrittlement after electroplating, essential for critical mechanical parts.

  • Top coat finish

    Finish applied after treatment to improve corrosion resistance, reduce friction or provide a specific appearance.

  • Lubricating top coat

    Finish applied after treatment to reduce friction or provide a specific appearance.

  • Zinc phosphating

    Treatment that promotes paint adhesion. Used in many functional mechanical applications.

  • Manganese phosphating

    Treatment offering excellent wear resistance and good oil retention for mechanical parts.

  • Black oxide

    Uniform black finish that enhances the appearance of parts.

  • Silane

    Chrome-free treatment meeting current environmental requirements and promoting adhesion.

  • Electropolishing

    Electrochemical treatment that reduces surface roughness and improves appearance.

  • Pickling

    Essential chemical treatment that removes surface oxides and contamination to ensure optimal adhesion.

  • Stainless steel passivation

    Treatment that restores the passive layer of stainless steel.
