Zinc Electroplating
Zinc Electroplating
Widely used in the finishing of metal parts across various industries, electrolytic zinc plating effectively protects metal surfaces from corrosion. Zincoplating, a company based in Moncalieri near Turin, has been active in the galvanic treatment sector since 1993. It performs this type of coating both for barrel-plated small metal parts and rack plating applications. This coating method has demonstrated excellent corrosion protection while offering a cost-effective alternative to coatings made with more noble materials.
Protective Zinc-Based Coatings for Metals
Applying a zinc-based coating to a metal component—typically steel—effectively counteracts galvanic corrosion. Through an electrochemical process, the less noble zinc protects steel or iron by acting as a sacrificial anode in the electrochemical reaction.
This process extends the operational life of mechanical components subjected to intense working cycles or exposure to aggressive chemical agents.
99% Pure Zinc Treatments
Zincoplating specializes in electrolytic zinc plating, an alkaline process that ensures a uniform, highly adherent coating with a low thickness. This treatment uses cyanide-free alkaline zinc, eliminating substances potentially harmful to health. The high-performance coating is achieved using 99.9% pure zinc, combined with trivalent chromium passivation.
Trivalent Chromium Passivation Colors
In recent years, hexavalent chromium-free passivations have been developed to offer greater efficacy while ensuring environmental safety. These include:
- White Zinc Plating
- Iridescent Zinc Plating
- Black Zinc Plating
