Electroplating
Many products we use primarily indoors or in a dry setting for decorative purposes where they are unlikely to suffer from corrosion. Without losing the original metallic effect, these items are chemically coated with a thin layer of nickel, gold, silver, antique etc. to make them attractive to the consumer. This layer is known as electroplating and is renowned for corrosion and rust prevention. The most common use of our electro-plating components is in malls, branded shops, hotels, Interior decorations, Fit-Outs, jewelry, Sheets, Claddings, HandRails, Frames, Corners, Skirtings, Stands, Channels, Profiles, etc. Our signature decorative items featured with different kinds of electroplating make us a well-known brand.
Al Muntaha Group provides optimally integrated processes in order to meet the exceptionally high-quality standards for decorative surfaces, where even the slightest amount of contamination contributes to defects. In terms of overall process costs, these systems are environmentally sustainable and streamlined.
What is Electroplating?
Electroplating is the mechanism by which an electro-deposition is applied to another piece of metal (or to another conductive surface) using an energy current. The deposited metal becomes part of the current product in electroplating through plating/coating.
For electroplating a metal, it needs to generate an electric current with two different metals, an electrolyte solution, two electrodes, and battery or other energy.
Electroplating usually offers a more luxurious finish to cheaper metals and adds certain properties such as anti-corrosion and anti-rust.
There are many factors why a leading surface of metal should be coated. In the case of silver- and gold-plated items or silverware or decorative items, the appearance and value of these objects are usually enhanced. Chromium-plated items enhance the look and wear of artifacts. Electroplating can also be performed to increase an object’s thickness.
