J&M Plating in Rockford, Illinois recently began processing zinc nickel in a new fully automated barrel electroplating line.
J&M is processing with the MacDermid Enthone ZinKlad 1000 (Clear) and ZinKlad 1000B (Black) finish systems, which are approved to many automotive and industrial OEM specifications. The company says these zinc nickel finish systems provide excellent corrosion resistance with salt spray performance that meets or exceeds 240 hours to white corrosion and 1000 hours to red rust. Zinc nickel is also a hard finish that has good resistance to abrasion. Other benefits of Zinc Nickel include high resistance to heat and UV light, and protection against galvanic corrosion where fasteners are in contact with aluminum in application.
