Growel Electroless Nickel Plating Chemicals: Minimum Cost of Operations, Maximum Performance

Growel’s chemical product range offers many solutions under one roof, one of which is Electroless Nickel Plating. Electroless Nickel Plating (ENP) is the deposit of a nickel-phosphorous alloy coating by autocatalytic chemical reduction. It is a chemical process that deposits an even layer of nickel-phosphorus alloy on the surface of a solid substrate, like metal or plastic. As a result, ENP displays incremental advantages over electroplating, like uniform thickness distribution and alloy composition on complex shapes.

 The majority of ENP for engineering purposes is a nickel-phosphorus alloy deposit containing 2-13 percent phosphorus by weight. ENP is a dip process to impart high hardness and wear resistance without electricity, leading to improved coating abilities and lower operating costs. 

It is imperative to determine whether your supplier is a certified ENP product supplier to ensure quality output in your ENP operations. At Growel, our technical team understands each customer’s application and requirement before recommending the optimum phosphorus level.  

We already know that ENP provides excellent corrosion protection, uniformity in deposit thickness, and good hardness. But what’s more, you can choose the phosphorus content of the deposit as per the requirement of the application.  

We understand the need to eliminate the use of hazardous substances in the electric and electronic equipment industry. Therefore, keeping in mind the EU RoHS directives, we offer RoHS Compliant products for high and medium phosphorous concentrations.  

Here is a look at our ENP products categorized based on the phosphorus content - 

Medium Phosphorous ENP Products from Growel

Medium Phosphorous ENP is the most commonly used process. It is used in decorative and industrial applications, along with electronics. We offer eight exceptional products in our portfolio, two of which are RoHS compliant. All our products are applied on four primary substrates, namely: MS, SS, Brass, and Aluminum.

High Phosphorous ENP Products from Growel

The higher the phosphorus content, the better the corrosion resistance but, the lower the hardness. The hardness of ENP can be increased by heat treatment, but this produces a micro-crack in the deposit, which reduces the corrosion resistance of the coating. We have four exceptional products in our portfolio, with one of them being RoHS compliant. All our products are applied on four primary substrates, namely: MS, SS, Brass, and aluminum, for corrosion resistance. Here’s our range of high phosphorous ENP products -

Low Phosphorous ENP Products from Growel 

We offer two impeccable products in our low phosphorous range, both of which are Lead-Cadmium free, ideal for a matte appearance, and contain 2.5% phosphorous content. All our products are applied on four primary substrates, namely: MS, SS, Brass, and aluminum for wear and abrasion-resistant coating as well as hardness. 

Our diverse portfolio of ENP chemical products covers every type of electroless nickel plating process. In addition, we offer intelligent solutions for your unique plating requirements. For more information, reach out to us here.
