properties surface treatments
- Friction coefficient reduction or increasing
- Corrosion protection/resistance
- Wear protection / resistance
- Non-stick coating
- Nedox® and HMF® FDA/USA approved and PFAS amount within the regulations REACH < 0,1%
- Chemical resistance/ protection
- High electrical conductivity
- Excellent soldering ability
Pure and ductile nickel layers with a metallic bond to the base material (substrate) are formed with a galvanic nickel sulfamate electrolyte. Those layers can achieve a thickness of 10 to 200 µm and more. Besides a hardness of approx. 150 to 250 HV, the nickel layer has a very good chemical and corrosion resistance. The application in the area of tool and mold making is no problem due to the good thermal and electrical conductivity. It also has a good thermal resistance and thermal shock resistance. The layer is also very well weldable and solderable. This technical special nickel layer can also be used as a primer for combination coatings. In Eindhoven we also have the possibility to coat prototypes or individual parts.

industries and applications
Our coatings provide additional protection and functionality to many different components. They are popular in a wide range of industries, such as semiconductor, mechanical engineering, automotive, radar technology, food, aerospace, chemical, packaging and pharmaceuticals. We will work with you to find the right coating process for your application. We guide you from the coating of a single piece prototype to series production of millions of pieces per year.
As a coating company we are strongly focused on quality and process technology. Existing processes and applications are optimized and new possibilities are continuously developed.
