Trivalent Zinc-Nickel Plating
Gatto offers a Zinc-Nickel alloy consisting of approximately 15% Nickel and 85% Zinc.
This coating provides a distinct blue appearance.
About
Trivalent Chromate is applied over Zinc-Nickel to seal the plating and offer additional corrosion protection. This finish can offer up to TEN times the protection of standard zinc.
Trivalent Zinc-Nickel is RoHS compliant and can meet the strict requirements specified by most manufacturers.

Considerations
Trivalent Zinc-Nickel has become standard for many manufacturers because it offers similar protective properties without the presence of restricted substances that are present in hexavalent alternatives.
Trivalent Zinc-Nickel has been in use for many years in industry sectors such as automotive, agriculture and heavy equipment. This finish continues to be specified in a growing number of applications as demands for maximum corrosion protection increase.
