Electroless Nickel Plating
Offering full-service mechanical and chemical pre-treatment, as well as full testing capabilities, IFT Worldwide offers electroless nickel plating services that meet the specific needs of each client. Our processes produce uniform, hard, and lubricious coatings that exhibit highly corrosion-resistant characteristics with excellent wear resistance. Our plating services are appropriate for many industrial applications.
While chemical and petroleum industries are the largest users of electroless nickel plating, we have a diverse client roster with requirements just as distinct as their industries. We are prepared to meet each of their needs with our plating materials, pre- and post-plate operations, various production and part size capabilities, and short and expedited lead times. In addition, many of IFT’s processes are ROHS compliant. To see how our electroless nickel plating is the best process for your applications, please contact IFT Worldwide or see below for details.
