Combat corrosion with Kanigen®
An industry standard for corrosion protection, with bonus benefits
- Electroless nickel coating consistently fights corrosion, oxidation
- Super persistent bonding resists separation to 60,000 PSI
- Food safe; resistant to most alkalis, acids, temperature extremes
- Highly uniform thickness maintains tight tolerances
- High phosphorus content for excellent lubricity
- Greater hardness than electrolytic nickel, equal to hard chrome
Since its first use on railroad tank cars in the 1950s, Kanigen® electroless nickel coating has been an industry standard for protection of metal components. Its chemically inert composition and exceptional bond strength make it a trusted protective finish for iron, steel, stainless steel, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, and their alloys.
In addition to protection from corrosion and oxidation, Kanigen's bonus features add value to manufactured components:
- Precise control of the chemical deposition process yields highly consistent coating thicknesses, even in complex interior geometries
- Kanigen has a hardness of 49-70 Rockwell C, making it a cost-effective replacement for hard chrome plating.
- Kanigen's high ductility and unusually persistent adhesion virtually eliminates flaking, resisting separation from the substrate under pressures up to 30 tons.
- The friction protection of Kanigen is enhanced by the high consistency and surface smoothness of the coating. It readily accepts polishing to optical standards
