Ronatec C2C has been involved with various forms of Electrolytic nickel since the 70′s. Ronatec has advanced the science of nickel plating with our innovative brightener formulations. We custom blend nickel & chrome plating systems to meet the demanding requirements of our clients, providing performance, production and economy. No other manufacturer or supplier can offer the total performance package of NiBrite™ Nickel Systems.
Nickel Processes
NICKEL PLUS II
Ultra high leveling bath designed for applications that require a lustrous, highly leveled, ductile finished on a wide variety of base metals. Provides outstanding low current density brightness, even in solutions contaminated with metallic or organic impurities. Economical, true single additive process, that offers super ductility and chrome receptivity. First choice for most nickel applications.
Pentastar One
New technology nickel system that produces super bright, super leveled, super fast, super deep throw deposits. This product was designed for the demanding requirements of the automotive wheel industry, hand tool, bumper and other applications that require the ultimate in brightness, leveling, ductility and the best low current density performance of any nickel process. Deposits feature a sharper, cleaner, trouble-free plate with the ease of a true single additive system. Stability, ductility, appearance and super deep throw area trademark with this system.
EXCEL
Economical, special purpose nickel system designed for short plating times and/or for parts have have unusual or intricate shapes. Features ductile deposits with unusually deep throw. Superior brightness and leveling across the plating range with thin deposits. Cleaner organics allows for a more trouble-free plating bath.
SB PLUS II
A unique semi-bright nickel system that provides a bright, leveled, low stressed deposits without Coumarin or coumarin based materials. Provides outstanding corrosion protection in a single additive, easy to use package. Operates under most any operating conditions, while providing exceptional economy.
NICKEL DELUXE
A versatile, heavy-duty bright nickel system specifically designed for applications that process zinc diecast. In solutions contaminated with this type of metallic impurity, parts can be processed without a loss in performance. Provides bright deposits, a high degree of leveling along with everyday workhorse reliability and economy. Plated deposits are bright, leveled, super ductile, and extremely low stressed that readily accept subsequent coatings of hexavalent or trivalent chrome.
MPN-610-L
A very unique bright nickel system specifically designed produce a thin strike deposit that contains dispersed insoluble particles over a NIBRITE bright nickel deposits. This creates a microporosity in the chrome deposit that then produces a final product that has superior corrosion resistance. It can be applied over a duplex nickel deposit for maximum protection or over a single layer of bright nickel with excellent results. If desired, a copper plate may be used along with the duplex or standard bright nickel deposit to improve the protective value.
SATIN PLUS 640
A unique, high performance, neutral-satin nickel system. It is specifically designed to outperform any competitive system available by providing excellent color, variable neutral brightness range, versatility, reliability and economy. Thin or heavy coatings, deposits are uniform, consistent, low stressed and readily accept subsequent plated coatings.
NIBLACK 620
A cyanide-free black nickel system that will produce a rich, black finish on most any material that will accept an electroplate. It is outstanding over a nickel deposit, providing a very deep “black chrome” appearance. Deposits are uniform black, and can be used as a final finish with topcoat or relieved to give a variety of antique finishes.
Chrome Processes
CHROME PLUS
Premium performance chrome plating process for decorative applications. Offers higher current efficiencies without burning, wider bright plating ranges, smoother deposits, faster plating rates and better corrosion resistance. Maintains reliable performance even under adverse conditions. Can operate at lower concentrations without sacrificing performance. Self regulating, single additive formula is easy and economical to use.
CHROME PLUS LC
Liquid catalyst used with chromic acid, produces a chrome bath similar to the CHROME PLUS PROCESS. Also used to adjust the catalyst level of a CHROME PLUS DECORATIVE bath or HARD CHROME bath.
TC-920 PROCESS
A new generation high performance chloride-based trivalent chrome process that is effective and easy to use. It has the ability to provide uniform performance over a wide range of current densities and operating conditions easily and economically. It is unaffected by current interruptions, and provides much better throwing power and coverage than hex chrome. The formulation performs better in presence of copper, zinc, iron, and nickel, the metallic impurities that most seriously affect deposit color and low current density performance. TC-920 provides a uniform, blue-bright deposit appearance that closely resembles hexavalent chrome coatings.
