UltraKoat

UltraKoat Engineered EN

UltraKoatBy in large Techmetals’ premium engineered Electroless Nickel (EN) coating, UltraKoat seamlessly pairs lubricity with uniformity. Undoubtedly our best coating for release properties, this plating process is perfect for industries such as injection die and molds, aircraft braking systems and many more.

What’s more, UltraKoat is comprised of an Electroless Nickel co-deposit with sub-micron particles of a diamond-like material. By comparison to other EN coatings, it has a very low coefficient of friction. Unlike PTFE (which will start to decompose at 600° F), UltraKoat will maintain its integrity up to the melting point of 1900° F.

With over 50 years experience in metal plating, Techmetals is truly your one-stop-shop for Electroless Nickel coatings. Together with UltraKoat, you may also be interested in our other EN Plating processes, including E-Krome.
