Electroless Nickel Plating Best Practices: Cooling Techniques for Extended Bath Life and Premium Quality! Discover the essential steps to cool down your bath effectively before shutting off agitation and filtration.
Electroless Nickel plating line.
Plating International, Inc. Modular Plating Lines offer several advantages for your plating operation. With these lines, you can enhance your plating capabilities and expand your business in a cost-effective manner. Here are some key features:
1. Pre-assembled: The lines are delivered to you in a pre-assembled state, saving time and effort in installation and setup.
2. Auto fill and auto feed: The lines are equipped with automatic filling and feeding systems, reducing manual labor and ensuring consistent and efficient plating processes.
3. Micro boilers or traditional electric heaters: Depending on your requirements and preferences, you have the option to choose between micro boilers or traditional electric heaters for the plating process. We prefer micro boilers because they are more efficient, use less energy, and most importantly reduce the risk of a fire in your plating shop
4. Complete control panel: The lines come with a comprehensive control panel that allows you to monitor and adjust various parameters, ensuring precise control over the plating process.
5. Full ventilation: Proper ventilation is essential in plating operations to maintain a safe and healthy working environment. These lines are equipped with full ventilation systems to effectively remove fumes and ensure air quality.
6. 3 to 4 month lead times: Plating International, Inc. aims to deliver the modular plating lines within a reasonable lead time of 3-4 months, allowing you to plan your operations accordingly.
By offering these features, our Modular Plating Lines aim to simplify the process of setting up or expanding a plating operation, providing a convenient and efficient solution for businesses in the plating industry.

Having your Electroless nickel tank properly designed and built is critical to having a sustainable EN operation. Poly/Co poly or Stainless Steel will work best.
Polypropylene Natural, stress-relieved polypropylene is well regarded for tank construction, as it is inert to plating solutions. Tanks are easily fabricated, and when using proper nitrogen welding techniques, are fairly reliable. The relative low cost and versatility of design considerations make polypropylene the most widely used material of construction for electroless nickel tanks.
Stainless steel tanks have infinite life spans. Electroless nickel, however, will plate onto the stainless steel tank walls, and these tanks may prove expensive to operate because of periodic plate out, which necessitates downtime for tank stripping and clean-up. Satisfactory operation has been sustained using well-stabilized electroless nickel solutions with one or more of the following techniques: Chemical Passivation, Applied Anodic current to take during operation, & Bag liners
Did you know companies are finding the benefits of One-Plate® are even greater as one component is easier to order, ship, and stock than three components.
Shops are finding this very convenient especially now that supply chains are strained by transport issues.
Shops with short labor or split shifts are reporting how One-Plate® is easier to operate with less workers and lab analysis.
And for those shops where their business level is lower due to the pandemic, they are appreciating the savings in time, energy, labor, and costs.
One-Plate® is now in 15 countries on 5 continents.
Plating International has increased our manufacturing capacity to meet the growing demand.
Single component One-Plate® EN versions are now available in low, mid, high phos and composites with Teflon, diamond, silicon carbide and boron nitride.
Just as the cold weather is coming, Plating International has verified the freeze resistance of the most popular One-Plate® 1001Q solution. Attached please see a photo with a typical "A" solution on the left and One-Plate® 1001Q on the right. After two weeks in a 5 degree F (-15 C) freezer, the "A" solution is frozen solid. The One-Plate® solution was just very cold. We then tested the One-Plate® solution and it plated as well as it always does, so there was no negative affect from the cold storage.
New technical articles and case studies are in the works..
Also, in this Covid-19 time when travel is limited, we have been having frequent video conference meetings to support plating shops and prospective customers to answer any questions they have, please don’t hesitate to reach out to set up any calls like this.

One-Plate® is the only single component Electroless Nickel on the market. Make up and replenish from the same drum!
ONE PLATE : Single Component Electroless Nickel from Plating International, Inc. This patented process is the only Single Component on the market today; allowing you to use the same product for both make up and maintenance. Traditional EN was developed using (3) components ( A, B, &, C) and make up between 21-22 % by volume; ONE PLATE was developed with just (1) single component that makes up at 15 % by volume. Our products are ELV/Rohs complaint and available in Low, Mid, and High Phosphorous.
