Electrolytic nickel coatings are used in engineering for decorative and protective purposes and as technical coatings. For our products, we use decorative and protective coatings which provide optimal protection against corrosion and high aesthetic qualities.
Nickel coatings are used for fasteners are characterised by high resistance to atmospheric corrosion. We offer two types of coatings: – matte for components like euro screws (screws for furniture fittings), – glossy for components like hinges, furniture joints.
Brasses are copper and zinc alloys. The properties of electrolytic brass-plated coatings vary, depending on the content of the main alloying element, which is zinc. The chemical composition of the coating has also a determining influence on its colour, which varies from red (high copper content) to different shades of gold-yellow. The standard type of brass-plated coatings is yellow.
They are characterised by high aesthetic qualities and protect against corrosion. The anti-corrosion properties of brass-plated coatings allow for use in slightly damaging environments. Years-long analysis of the properties and applications of brass-plated coatings have shown their high rated use in products like ERICSSON nuts.
Standard phosphate coatings on the fixing elements are mat of dark gray to black colour. Typical phosphate coatings on fasteners are matte, with colours ranging from dark grey to black. Phosphate coatings have anti-corrosion properties and additionally increase the adhesion of applied paint coatings. Phosphating is performed for drywall screws (coarse and fine thread, self-drilling).
The specific use of these products excludes the use of zinc coatings which are easily damaged by contact with gypsum. Phosphate coatings not only protect products against corrosion but also reduce friction coefficient and make installation easier.
