What we do
Galvamé has all treatments under one roof, from chrome and nickel plating to zinc and silver plating and more. Our customers operate in a variety of industries, including mechanical engineering, metal manufacturing, boat building, automotive and healthcare, both in the Netherlands and abroad. We also perform restoration work on parts for cars, motorbikes, yachts etc.
Electrolytic zinc plating
- Corrosion protection even at low layer thicknesses
- No extreme layer thicknesses or drop formation
- Wide range of colours through blue, yellow (thick-layer) and black passivation
Electrolytic nickel plating
- Good corrosion resistance with suffi cient layer thickness
- Improved solderability
- Good reflectivity
Electroless nickel plating
- Nickel-phosphorous alloy coating, phosphorous content 7–13%
- Uniform deposit thickness throughout, internally and externally
- Good corrosion and abrasion resistance
Chrome plating
- Beautiful wear-resistant coating (always applied on top of a nickel undercoat)
- Oxide resistant, does not oxidise in air
- Finish possible in matt, semi-bright or bright
Silver plating
- Beautiful, lustrous, white precipitate
- Excellent conductivity
- Good reflectivity
Copper plating
- Good electrical conductivity
- Prevention of sparking in explosion-proof applications
- Often used as an intermediate layer
Tin plating
- Highly ductile
- Good solderability
- Food grade approved
Pickling/Passivation
- Cleaning of welding discolouration
- Restoring corrosion resistance after fabrication
- Even matt appearance
Electropolishing
- Smooth, high-shine surface fi nish
- Very clean surface and very good passivation
- Greatly improved corrosion resistance
