Electroless Nickel Plating (TM117P)
TM 117P is used on mold surfaces for both plastic and rubber, food processing equipment, computer components, aerospace applications and more.
Technical Advantages
- Complete coverage on complex shapes for corrosion resistance
- Uniform thickness eliminating post process treatment such as grinding
- Excellent non-stick properties for molding and forming operations
- Low coefficient of friction, especially in the break-in-stages
- Lower cost than co-deposits of Nickel and PTFE
- Extended life of coated parts due to the reduction of wear
- Often eliminates the use of release products in molding
- Reduces cycle times
- Can be plated on aluminum and other non-ferrous metals
- Knoop Hardness (50g load, 3.0 mil deposit): 790–940 kg/mm Approximate Rockwell Hardness: 64–70 C Scale
CAUTION – While the deposit remains viable, the PTFE particles are damaged at temperatures over 600°F. Consider UltraKoat™ for higher temperature applications.
