Chromium processes have the function of depositing a layer of chromium on a piece formed of another metal or plastic, this chrome layer can have aesthetic decorative purposes, or functional purposes such as increasing surface hardness and resistance. against corrosion.

We offer additives for Chrome finishes:

Hard Chrome

• Hexavalent Hard Chromium

Decorative Chrome:

• Blue Hexavalent Chromate
• Yellow Hexavalent Chromate
• Tropicalized Hexavalent Chromate
• Blue Trivalent Chromate
• Yellow Trivalent Chromate
• Black Trivalent Chromate

Tin processes consist of the metallic coating of Tin to parts entered in an electrolytic bath, this coating can be applied on metallic surfaces such as steel, aluminum, copper or brass as well as on non-metallic surfaces such as plastic. These processes are carried out with functional purposes for the workpiece, since the finish manages to increase its properties of wear resistance, protection against corrosion, chemical resistance, high ductility, weldability and good distribution.

We offer additives for Tin processes:

• Tin for electric circuits
• Matte Tin
• Reel to Reel Tin

Nickel processes have the function of depositing a Nickel layer on a piece with a metallic surface of copper, brass, steel or zamak, as well as in non-metallic surfaces like plastic. The coating can have a decorative purpose due to the aesthetic aspect of the finish or functional purpose when it is used as a base layer for chrome and copper finishes, since it provides the workpiece with an increase in its resistance to corrosion and oxidation.

We offer additives for Nickel processes:

• Bright Nickel
• Semi-Bright Nickel
• Black Nickel
• Electroless Nickel

Zinc or zinc coating processes consist of the deposition of a thin layer of Zinc on a metal part in order to provide a finish that increases its anticorrosive and antioxidant properties, this deposition is carried out by mechanical and electrolytic methods.

We offer additives for Zinc processes by electrolytic deposition:

• Acid Zinc
• Alkaline Zinc
• Cyanide Alkaline Zinc
• Zinc-Nickel

Degreasers are key products for the part and surface preparation stage in the different electroplating processes, our special formulations have the function of removing oils and dirt that may adhere to the parts in previous processes.

The degree of cleanliness of the surface directly influences the quality and adherence of the coating, which is why at Galber we offer complete and highly effective degreasers in our solutions portfolio.

Get to know our special degreaser portfolio:

• Electrolytic for Ferrous Metals
• Electrolytic for Non-Ferrous Metals
• Electrolytic Cyanide for Ferrous Metals
• Immersion for Ferrous Metals
• Immersion for Non-Ferrous Metals
• Ultrasound for Ferrous Metals
• Ultrasound for Non-Ferrous Metals
• Degreasers for Plastics
• Universal Degreasers

The metal strippers are used in parts treatment operations prior to coating, precisely to remove nickel, mainly in iron, copper and other alloys worked parts. This operation is necessary in preparation for surfaces that need to be coated or treated again.

Get to know our metal stripper porfolio:

• Cyanide debonder
• Cyanide Free Deniquelator
• Electrolytic deniquelator

Acid salts are used in Electroplating baths as inhibitors to control acid pickling stages, and protect the base metal of the piece. In the same way, they are used for the activation of ferrous and non-ferrous metallic surfaces, and as oxide removers in the parts preparation stages.

We offer special Acid Salts for:

• Electrolytic and immersion preparations
• Activation of Ferrous Metalss
• Activation of Non-ferrous Metals
• Use as Inhibitors

We offer a variety of specialized additives for electroplating processes whose main function is to optimize specific operations.

We offer:

• Special additives for contamination in Nickel baths
• Special additives for copper passivation
• Special additives for copper brightening
• Special additives for chromium (anti-breeze)
• Special additives for old copper finishes
• Antioxidant for Tin
• Organic Seals
• Inorganic Seals
• Hybrid Seals
