Zincate dip produces a dense, continuous immersion layer of zinc on aluminium, which can then be plated with other metals.
It is possible to brush plate small, non-complexly shaped zincated aluminium articles for functional purposes such as electrical contacts. We recommend thickening the brush plating solution first with Thickener before starting plating. We do not recommend that the brush plating process is used for decorative items such as mobile phones.
Adhesion can be improved by stripping the zincated layer off in ActiClean then re-zincating. Please refer to Tech Specs for more information.
