KA1XX series

KA1XX series
Nano-Additives
for Nickel plating
additives for nickel plating

KA1XX series is a high-performance anticorrosion additive suited for decorative nickel plating. KA1XX additives are compatible with nickel baths based on Watt’s composition.

It does increase corrosion resistance significantly without influencing decorative nickel appearance. Use of additives from this series can be converted into reduction of metallic nickel usage. Thus, the same corrosion protection can be achieved with thinner nickel deposits.

Profits for galvanisers and customers they serve:

  • Superior coating properties
  • Easy implementation – no changes in existing plating technology
  • No changes in existing waste treatment
  • Excellent bath stability
  • Reduction of nickel use.

KA2XX series
Nano-Additives
for Zinc plating
additives for zinc plating

KA2XX additive series designed for functional zinc plating. Additives from this product line enhance sacrificial protection given by metallic zinc by slowing down its oxidation. Apart from improving corrosion resistance (prevent effectively red rust development), they allow to obtain harder deposits.

Benefits for galvanisers and their customers:

  • Greater anticorrosion protection
  • Increased mechanical properties
  • Increased wear resistance
  • Suitable for both rack and barrel processes
  • Easy implementation – no changes in existing plating technology
  • No changes in existing waste treatment
  • Excellent product stability

KA3XX series
Nano-Additives
for ENP plating
additives for electroless nickel plating

KA3XX series created to improve electroless nickel deposits performance furnishing them with even better corrosion resistance and enhanced hardness. This results in increased life of the coated surfaces. Suitable for most challenging applications. In this product line you will find additives for low, medium and high phosphorus processes.

Feature and benefits:

  • Enhanced corrosion protection
  • Increased hardness
  • Increased wear resistance
  • No influence on bath stability
  • Excellent product stability
  • Easy implementation – no changes in existing plating technology
  • No changes in existing waste treatment

KA1XXX series
Nano-Additives
for passivation
additives for passivation

KA1XXX series is design for Cr(III)-based passivation. It is appropriate for various types of passivation from blue to black, including cobalt-free. It amends protection against corrosion given by the passivation process without impacting its decorative aspect.

This line is suitable for both – rack and barrel applications. It provides appearance along with excellent performance.

Features and benefits:

  • Increased corrosion protection
  • Outstanding solution stability
  • Easy implementation – no changes in existing plating technology
  • No changes in existing waste treatment
