Purpose:
The technology is used for production of corrosion protective and wear resistant coatings with decorative appearance anddifferent colors (gold, bronze, brass, red etc.)
Used In: | |
Production of accessories for: clothes footwear furniture haberdashery |
Protective decorative finishing of: rooms sanitary appliances devices machine tools carsetc. |
Technical Characteristics of Coatings:
- ultra fine grain structure (size of grains depends on coating color and varies from tens of nanometer up to 200 nm)
- dense arrangement of grains; absence of pores
- thickness of the colored layer from 0.2–0.3 µm up to 2.5 µm (depending on the coating color)
- copper sub-layer thickness (when its application is required) from 6 to 10–15 µm
- wear resistance and corrosion resistance is at the level of a bright nickel and above
- wide range of coating colors like «GOLD» , «BRONZE», «BRASS», «RED», «PINK» etc.
- high reproducibility of coating color and its stability when storing the items
Operating Characteristics of Solutions:
- stability of electrolytes
- room temperatures of working solutions
- ecological safety (no cyanide-ions and organic components dangerous for environment are present)
Advantages:
- reproducibility of coating color
- decrease in the number of operations, their cost and consumption of materials in 1.5–2 times
- only widely used equipment of plating plants is required
- no need in heating and stirring of solutions
- absence of toxic and ecologically dangerous materials
- variations on the coating color can be obtained when using one and the same solution
- coatings can be deposited on items of different chemical nature such as metals, alloys, dielectrics
Implementation: The technology is implemented at Minsk Experimental Accessories Plant
Forms of cooperation:
- sale of technological documentation
- manufacturing of items on order (small series)
- license sale
- sale of the concentrates for solution manufacturing
- joint production
