MicroLube (PTFE) & MicroSlik (Boron Nitride) Plating

MicroLube (PTFE) and MicroSlik (Boron Nitride) are both proprietary RoHS and REACH-compliant plating solutions that provide high lubricity and reliable corrosion resistance to base metals used in high-friction applications. With exceptional hardness levels, dry lubricity, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance both MicroLube and MicroSlik address the needs of new manufacturing projects or enhancing existing products. MicroLube can provide up to 240 hours of salt spray resistance (ASTM B-117 Specs) at only 0.5mm to 1.0mm with additional protection against acids, solvents, and oils. When combined with other electroless nickel plating solutions, MicroSlik can elevate lubricity and wear characteristics after just one coating.

MicroNite Black Electroless Nickel Plating

Low-phosphorus concentration black electroless nickel plating, MicroNite, delivers the same beneficial properties as standard electroless nickel plating but with a black conductive exterior that is aesthetically pleasing and useful for specialty applications. With excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and a uniform coating over unique part geometries, black electroless nickel is quickly becoming a highly sought-after plating solution for medical, petrochemical, power generation, aerospace, and defense industries. MicroNite black electroless nickel plating is ideal for non-reflective applications like optical products, defense applications, and telecommunication components.

Glass Bead Blasting & Baking

Micro Plating also offers additional services like glass bead blasting and baking in an inert atmosphere to address material surface finishes, hardnesses, and corrosion resistance. Glass bead blasting is effective on all metals regardless of the plating thickness or hardness levels and leaves behind a smooth finish with no embedded contaminants or surface residue. Baking parts in an inert atmosphere oven can add tremendous stress relief benefits to high-strength steels before plating or increasing the nickel hardness levels of plated parts in a high-temperature bake.
