Considerations for Zinc Electroplating
While zinc is highly effective, certain factors require attention. These considerations are managed through precise process control to deliver high-quality coatings tailored to specific needs.
Substrate Compatibility
Zinc adheres well to steel and iron but may require pre-treatment for non-metallic substrates to ensure proper bonding.
Surface Preparation
Thorough cleaning is essential to remove oils, dirt, and oxides, ensuring strong adhesion. Acid or alkaline cleaning is typically used.
Finish Options
Zinc can be finished with chromate conversion coatings to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetics, with options for clear, yellow, or black finishes.
Process Safety
Electroplating solutions involve chemicals that require careful handling to ensure safety and environmental compliance.
Titan Plating's Zinc Electroplating
Versatile Electroplating Techniques
Titan Plating offers electroplating, barrel plating, rack electroplating, and heavy build plating, applying zinc to enhance corrosion resistance, durability, and wear protection on diverse substrates, ideal for high-volume or intricate components.
Wide Substrate Compatibility
We plate zinc onto metals and select non-metallic substrates, such as certain plastics and ceramics, improving corrosion resistance and functionality with rapid turnaround for varied applications.
Tailored Coating Solutions
From thin, uniform zinc coatings via electroplating to thicker layers exceeding 0.025 mm with heavy build plating, our methods suit prototypes, large-scale production, and harsh-condition parts like fasteners or automotive components.

Benefits of Copper Plating
Superior Corrosion Resistance
Zinc provides excellent protection against rust and environmental degradation, extending the lifespan of components, especially in automotive and industrial applications.
Sacrificial Protection
Zinc acts as a sacrificial anode, corroding preferentially to protect the underlying substrate, ideal for steel parts like bolts and screws.
Cost-Effective
Zinc plating is an economical solution for corrosion resistance, offering long-term protection at a lower cost compared to other coatings.
Aesthetic Appeal
Provides a clean, bright finish, often enhanced with chromate conversion coatings for added colour and protection, improving visual quality.
Versatility
Zinc can be used as a standalone coating or as a base layer for other finishes, compatible with a wide range of applications.
Durability
Enhances wear resistance, making it suitable for components exposed to mechanical stress or harsh environments.
