Electroplating for Automotive Components
High-performance, RoHS-compliant Zinc and Zinc alloy finishes engineered to withstand brutal under-the-hood environments and provide maximum salt-spray corrosion resistance.
Automotive Grade Surface Finishes
Alkaline Zinc Plating
Provides exceptionally uniform thickness distribution, making it the superior choice for complex automotive parts with deep recesses, tubular shapes, or blind holes. Followed by hexavalent-free trivalent passivation (Blue/Clear or Yellow).

The ultimate automotive standard for corrosion protection. Zinc-Nickel provides 5x to 10x the corrosion resistance of standard zinc, easily exceeding 1,000+ hours in salt spray testing (ASTM B117) before red rust appears. Highly resistant to high engine temperatures.
Component Applications
- High-tensile fasteners (Nuts, Bolts, Screws)
- Brake calipers and chassis components
- Fuel system tubing and brackets
- Under-the-hood engine mounts and stampings
- Wiper motor assemblies
OEM Quality & Compliance
- Hydrogen Embrittlement Relief: Dedicated baking ovens for post-plate stress relief of high-tensile fasteners.
- Trivalent Passivates (Cr3+): 100% RoHS, REACH, and ELV directive compliant. No Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+).
- Salt Spray Testing: In-house quality control to guarantee ASTM B117 standards are met.
- Topcoats & Torque Control: Application of silane sealers and friction-modifiers (lubricants) for precise torque-tension relationships.
