Industrial Surface Finishing Solutions

From prototype to production, we deliver coatings engineered to extend the life of your critical components.

Electroless Nickel Plating

Uniform deposit thickness on the most complex geometries without external current. Superior corrosion and wear protection for precision components.

  • High-Phos (10–12% P) — supreme corrosion resistance
  • Mid-Phos — balanced wear, corrosion & lubricity
  • NorLast™ — wear resistance rivalling hard chrome
  • NorLube™ — extreme lubricity coating
  • Tolerance: ±0.0001”
  • 1,000+ hours salt spray protection

Aluminum Anodizing

Electrochemical oxide layer grown from the aluminum substrate — extremely hard, with excellent wear and corrosion protection.

  • Type II — standard decorative & protective
  • Type III — hard anodize for extreme wear
  • Bright Dip anodizing available
  • Colour dye options
  • FDA, USDA, RoHS compliant
  • All wrought alloys (1000–7000 series)

Black Oxidizing

Chemical conversion coating that produces a matte black finish on steel. Minimal dimensional change with added corrosion resistance.

  • Dimensional stability
  • Uniform matte black finish
  • Enhanced corrosion protection
  • All steel alloys supported

Electrolytic Nickel Plating

Traditional electroplating for components requiring a bright, decorative nickel finish with good corrosion protection.

  • Bright and semi-bright finishes
  • Excellent adhesion
  • Cost-effective for high-volume

Chrome Coating

Hard chrome deposits for components requiring maximum surface hardness and wear resistance in demanding operating conditions.

  • High surface hardness
  • Excellent wear resistance
  • Low coefficient of friction

Industrial Roller Services

Specialty coating and reconditioning services for industrial rollers across manufacturing and printing applications.

  • Roller reconditioning

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our coating processes and capabilities.

What substrates can be electroless nickel plated?

All steel alloys, copper alloys, and aluminum alloys. The process deposits a uniform layer regardless of part geometry, making it ideal for complex shapes.

How does electroless nickel compare to hard chrome?

Electroless nickel provides far superior corrosion protection (1,000+ hours vs. 24 hours salt spray). Our NorLast™ process also matches hard chrome's wear resistance.

What alloys can be anodized?

Aluminum, titanium, and magnesium. Wrought alloys (1000–7000 series) produce the best results. Steel and stainless steel cannot be anodized.

What is the difference between Type II and Type III anodize?

Type III (hard anodize) produces a denser oxide layer with superior wear and corrosion properties, but requires more energy and costs more than standard Type II.

Can existing coatings be stripped and replated?

Yes. In most cases, coatings can be chemically stripped without altering the substrate's original finish or dimensions, then replated to specification.

What about hydrogen embrittlement?

Parts with base metal hardness above 35 Rc are baked post-plating to relieve hydrogen absorbed during processing, preventing brittleness.

How long does the anodize coating last?

Clear anodize can last indefinitely under normal conditions. Colour-dyed anodize may fade in direct sunlight over time.

Is anodizing environmentally friendly?

Yes. The process avoids heavy metals and toxic waste, meeting FDA, USDA, ELV, WEEE, and RoHS environmental directives.
