Driving Sustainability in Automotive Parts Plating: DeKalb Metal Finishing’s Zinc-Nickel Plating Advantage
At DeKalb Metal Finishing, we are committed to leading the marketplace by providing environmentally responsible zinc-nickel plating services. Our dedication to sustainability and innovation sets us apart as a premier zinc-nickel plating company, particularly in the realm of automotive parts plating.
Embracing Trivalent Chromium Passivates
In the surface finishing industry, the choice between chromates and passivates is critical for both performance and environmental impact. Traditionally, chromate treatments utilized hexavalent chromium (Cr6), known for its effective corrosion resistance but also for its significant environmental and health hazards. Recognizing these concerns, DeKalb Metal Finishing has proactively transitioned to trivalent chromium (Cr3) passivates years ago unlike some competition. These treatments offer comparable corrosion protection while being substantially less toxic, aligning with our commitment to eco-friendly zinc-nickel plating processes.
Advancing Automotive Parts Plating
Our focus on sustainable practices extends to our core services, including automotive parts plating. By integrating trivalent chromium passivates into our zinc-nickel plating services, we not only enhance the durability and performance of automotive components but also contribute to a greener manufacturing process. This approach underscores our role as a forward-thinking zinc-nickel plating company dedicated to meeting the evolving needs of the automotive industry.
Leading with Environmental Responsibility
DeKalb Metal Finishing’s adoption of trivalent chromium passivates reflects our leadership in promoting environmentally responsible practices within the zinc-nickel plating sector. We continuously seek innovative solutions that reduce ecological impact without compromising quality.
