How does Industrial Galvanic Treatments work?
Most people know about galvanic beauty treatment that has been standard salon practices for a long time. Such treatments are used to tone up muscles, promote blood circulation, increase cell metabolism, and activate enzymes. It helps to heal surgical and non-surgical procedures and improves the quality and firmness of the skin. However, Industrial Galvanic Treatments are used mostly for making finishes on interior designs, cosmetics, household, and many other products.
There are two different types of galvanization used in Plastic galvanization. Both of the types involve coating a metal (usually non-stainless steel) in zinc, which protects the metal from oxidation (rust). Because over time, as zinc exposes to oxygen, water, and carbon dioxide, it forms a layer of zinc carbonate that is very tough and resistant to corrosion. The metal dips into a bath of molten zinc, which creates a much thicker layer and is usually in use for much larger pieces of metal, such as highway barriers. It also called hot dipping.
And the other type is called electroplating, where the metal is subject to an electric current in a solution of zinc ions. The electrical current causes the zinc ions to migrate onto the metal, coating it in a thin layer, which varies by the length of time it stays in the bath. Touch electroplating treatment, Exclusive Galvanic Treatment, and Selective electroplating treatment are different types of this process. These processes provide innovative new designs and technology which allow total product customization without any modification of the mold.
Industrial Galvanic Treatments is primarily used to change the surface properties of an object (such as abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, aesthetic qualities). It may also be used to build up thickness on small parts or to form objects by electroforming. It can be used to make shiny, velour electroplated finishes in various colors that are appealing to the customers.
