Nickel plating kits

  • Easy to use
  • Economical
  • Reusable and very rewarding

Electroplate directly on steel, iron, brass, bronze, gunmetal, copper also on welded, silver soldered and brazed joints.

The Nickel plating process allows a deposit of .001" (25 micron) per hour

These kits are a scaled down version of a commercial Nickel plating plant, the true industrial Nickel plating process at your finger tips. A lasting professional, decorative water resistant matt or lustrous finish can be acheived without any previous experience.

Nickel plating can be used to reclaim worn out or over machined surfaces.

From a rusted component to a Nickel plated lasting showpiece in three hours.

For decorative work Nickel plating will range from 1/2 hour up to 3 hours according to the thickness of the Nickel plate required. The plating solution is reusable. 1kg of the Nickel salts (as supplied in the workshop kit) will last for 0ver 13,000 sq cm of .001 (25 micron) Nickel plating without the need to replenish or replace. The salts will store for many years in liquid or solid form. Nickel plating can be carried out at any temperature from 15 degC up to 35 degC, although slightly better results are obtained at 24degC or higher.

The comprehensive instructions supplied with each Nickel plating kit will guide you through all the stages of the plating process from the initial preparation of the parts to be Nickel plated through to the finished product with hints and tips to get the very best from your kit.

The Nickel plating process can be used as a substitute for Zinc or Cadmium plating. The finish is dictated by the preparation. For a matt finish wire brushins is sufficient. If the surfaces are polished prior to being electroplated they can be buffed up to acheive the beautiful sheen of the original.

Kit Contents

1kg of Nickel plating salts Makes approx 6 litres
2 Nickel plating anodes gives 1,000 sq inches of plating
150g of degreasing salts makes 5 litres of degreaser
150g fine pumice powder to scour the parts before plating
30m of copper wire to suspend the objects
1 set of comparator papers to check the condition of the solution
1 set of instructions comprehensive instructions and tips
5 pairs of polythene gloves to avoid contaminating the degreased parts

Extra items you will need

  1. A plastic bowl or bucket or small fish tank

  2. 12v battery or a 12vdc battery charger

  3. 1 or more standard automotive type 12v bulbs

The kit is available in three sizes.

Workshop kit contains as per table above

Mid tec kit contains twice the amount of materials plus a hydrometer and a thermometer.

Maxi tec as per mid tec plus cathode bars, thermostatic heater, current control panel and dry acid salts.

THE NEW ZINCFAST XL ZINC PLATING SYSTEM

The •Zincfast XL is a new bright-zinc

plating process totally Cyanide free

Formulated to produce a bright Zinc deposit on Steel and Iron.
"Zincfast XL" is ideal for Motorcycle and Car Components and because
it operates at an electrolytic efficency of nearly 100%, it will not
interfere with the molecular structure of the Steel, therefore it is
 suitable for all types of fasteners.

THE VALUE OF ZINC AS a RUST-PROOF FINISH FOR IRON AND STEEL HAS LONG BEEN
APPRECIATED. ZINC PLATING IS BEING USED ON AN INCREASING SCALE, PARTICULARLY
FOR COMPONENTS WHICH WOULD FORMERLY HAVE BEEN CADMIUM PLATED.

THE PROTECTION GIVEN TO THE STEEL IS NOT DUE TO AN ENVELOPE EFFECT" ALONE, BY REASON OF THE ZINC FORMING A CONTINUOUS COATING OVER THE WHOLE ARTICLE, BUT IS LARGELY DUE TO ITS BEHAVIOUR AS THE ANODE IN ANY ELECTRO-CHEMICAL REACTION THAT MAY OCCUR, THE RESULT BEING THAT THE ZINC CORRODES PREFERENTIALLY TO THE UNDERLYING METAL TO AVOID~ COMPLETE CORROSION OF THE PROTECTIVE FILM THE ZINC CREATES A TENACIOUS OXIDE SKIN WHICH RESISTS ANY FURTHER ATTACK. THE "PASSIVATING" PROCESS TOUGHENS THE OUTER LAYER AND ENHANCES FURTHER THE RUST PROOF QUALITIES OF THE COATING, PROLONGING THE LIFE OF THE BASIS METAL.

ZINC FAST IS A COMPLETE SYSTEM

It has made it possible for the small Operator to achieve
fully professional results without any previous experience in
electro-plating. "Zincfast XL" gives excellent value for money
and, most important, allows the user full Control of the operation.

How fast is "Zincfast XL"?  A 10 MicrQn (UN) Average coating is
achieved in less than 2Q minutes. PassivatiOn takes ;appx.30 secs.

The "WORKSHOP XL" Kit contains all the necessary chemicals for
12 ltrs.Of Plating Solution and 12 litres. of Passivating Solution.
The Degreasant, the Copper Wire for suspending the parts, the pH
papers and high Purity Anodes are all included in the Kit.

To electro-plate you will need a l2Volt battery, Plastic containers
for the Plating and Passivating tanks 'and l2Volt light bulbs for
regulating the Amperage as used with the Nickel Plating System.
