We are improving bath performance, finish quality, and process reliability
we support the metal treatment, surface finishing, and electroplating industry with specialty additives designed to improve wetting, foam control, leveling, defect reduction, corrosion resistance, and process consistency.
Our solutions are used across pretreatment and cleaning, conversion coatings, and electroplating / electroless plating systems where stable operations and flawless appearance are critical.
Proper wetting is essential for uniform coverage on complex geometries and high-energy metal surfaces, and for reducing defects caused by poor surface tension control. Our wetting solutions help:
Typical use areas: alkaline cleaners, acid pickling, activation baths, plating baths, passivation solutions, and rinse aids.
Foam and entrapped air cause operational issues and finish defects—especially in spray cleaners, ultrasonic cleaning, agitation tanks, and circulating baths. Our foam-control technologies help:
Benefits: smoother operations, fewer defects, improved productivity, reduced rework.
In hexavalent chromium (chromic acid) plating and anodizing-related operations, mist and fume generation creates serious worker exposure, corrosion of nearby equipment, and compliance challenges. We offer fluorosurfactant-based chrome fume suppressants designed to form a stable, ultra-thin surface layer that:
Typical applications: hard chrome plating, decorative chrome plating, chromic acid-based processes where mist control is required.
For decorative and functional finishes, surface control is crucial to achieve uniform appearance and reduce reject rates. Selected additives support:
Typical use areas: select electroplating systems, topcoats, protective coatings, and metal finishing formulations.
Metal surfaces are vulnerable during cleaning, pickling, rinsing, and interim storage. Our corrosion inhibitor solutions can help:
Applications: cleaners, pickling inhibitors, rinse-stage protection, and temporary corrosion protection systems.
Pretreatment quality controls final adhesion and corrosion performance. Our additive support helps improve:
For finished parts where cleanliness and stain resistance matter, we offer surface technologies that can help:
Applications: protective top layers, clear protective coatings, and specialty surface protection systems for metal components.
