Zinni AL 450
Precision plating with efficiency and sustainability
Zinni AL 450 is an advanced alkaline zinc nickel barrel plating solution offering excellent coating uniformity, even in low-current-density (LCD) areas.
It delivers homogeneous nickel distribution within a 13–15% target range and increases deposit thickness from 0.8 to 1.3 μm in narrow areas under comparable conditions. The robust system minimizes high-current-density (HCD) burnings and ensures superior plating on complex geometries. With 50% energy savings and optimized plating times, Zinni AL 450 combines performance with sustainability.
What inspires us
Why we developed Zinni AL 450
Your challenge
Many manufacturers face issues like inconsistent coating thickness, energy inefficiency, and high operational costs with traditional plating processes. Complex geometries, narrow passages, and low-current-density zones often lead to poor uniformity and grey layers. Additionally, managing plating time and energy consumption effectively remains a challenge.
Our solution
We have developed Zinni AL 450 that addresses these issues with superior throwing power, ensuring consistent coating even in low-current-density areas. With a 50% reduction in energy use and optimized plating time, it delivers high-quality finishes, cost savings, and sustainability for complex parts and large barrel lines.
