MECHANICAL ZINC PLATING

MECHANICAL ZINC PLATING

Growermetal carries out the mechanical zinc plating

Thanks to our production process, we are able to meet not only the needs of our own company, but also the needs of third parties.
The mechanical zinc plating is an anticorrosive coating free of hydrogen embrittlement risks obtained by a low energy consumption. Growermetal uses exclusively original MacDermid® chemicals, which have been studied on purpose to get a high-quality and high-performance coating.
