Our specialist processes

High-quality finishing methods engineered for precision, performance, and durability across demanding industries.

Alocrom or Alodine

A protective chromate conversion coating ideal for aluminium components, offering corrosion resistance and enhanced paint adhesion.

Chemical blacking

Copper Chemical Blacking

Blacking copper creates a non-reflective, glare-reducing surface, it is a chemical conversion process that produces a darker finish,. The treatment reacts with the surface to form a stable, dark oxide/sulphide layer without adding measurable thickness, enhancing appearance while providing mild corrosion resistance. It can produce an antique-style finish on copper and copper-based alloys such as brass and bronze.

Zinc Finishing

A reliable coating that protects steel against corrosion, improves durability, and offers a clean, uniform finish for industrial use.

Sulphuric Anodising

A durable anodic coating applied to aluminium to improve corrosion resistance, wear protection, and surface appearance.

Passivation process

Passivation

A chemical process that removes contaminants from stainless steel surfaces, improving corrosion resistance and ensuring long-term stability.

A uniform nickel coating

Electroless Nickel

A uniform nickel coating applied without electrical current, delivering enhanced hardness, wear resistance, and surface protection.

A chromate conversion coating that provides effective corrosion protection for aluminium components while improving paint adhesion.

Iridite

A chromate conversion coating that provides effective corrosion protection for aluminium components while improving paint adhesion.

Non chrome conversion coating

Surtech 650

A reliable non-chrome conversion coating offering excellent corrosion resistance and a clean, consistent finish on aluminium surfaces.

Chemical Blacking on Mild steel or Stainless Steel


Chemical Blacking (also known as black oxide coating) is a chemical conversion process that produces a durable black finish on ferrous metals such as mild steel, stainless steel and tool steel. It enhances appearance, provides mild corrosion resistance (when sealed) and improves lubricity without affecting dimensions.
