Zinc Electroplating Capabilities
At a time when many custom parts producers cannot offer in house zinc electroplating due to increasingly tighter environmental standards, Master takes pride in providing this vital final process. With in house testing facilities for plate thickness and salt spray corrosion plus a computer controlled line, Master produces only top quality zinc electroplated parts, along with supplemental RoHS compliant chromates.
Capitalizing on over 35 years of experience, Master can offer quick turnaround, shorter lead times and competitive pricing. Our certified quality and environmental systems are a critical foundation to providing you with peace of mind when it comes to zinc electroplating.
We are also one of the few captive zinc electroplating operations that accepts outside work, meaning we can plate your existing steel parts. The same quality, delivery and cost effective advantages apply to your zinc electroplating needs. Contact us for details.
