Porter-Guertin Co., located in Cincinnati, OH, specializes in industrial metal finishing, and their team of professionally trained technicians deliver unbeatable service every time. They value quality craftsmanship, and their expertise in electroless nickel plating has earned them a reputation of being Cincinnati’s best metal finishing company. The benefits that electroless nickel plating has over electroplating are significant, and Porter-Guertin Co. is proud to share those benefits with their clients:

• Simplifying The Process: Traditional electroplating requires a battery, a chemical solution, and multiple applications to shift the metal’s chemical composition and build a resistant coating on the surface. Electroless nickel plating, on the other hand, doesn’t require a battery, and the chemicals used are automatically replenished. This simpler process is efficient, effective, and requires no complex filtration equipment. 

  

• More Control & A Smoother Finish: Electroless nickel plating allows the operator to have more control over the deposition process. This added control leads to a perfectly smooth and even coating that enhances corrosion resistance. This method of metal finishing also allows the operator to have greater control of the thickness and volume of the coating. This is a valuable attribute when working with machinery parts that require exact measurements.
• Enhanced Safety: When working with an electrical current, safety is always a concern. Electroplating involves potentially dangerous equipment, and engineers are required to follow careful time-consuming procedures. With no battery to worry about, electroless nickel plating is a cleaner, safer process.
