Zinc

The Varland Advantage:

At Varland Plating, we offer advanced chloride-based Zinc plating solutions across both manual and fully automated lines. Our automated line boasts nine stations of plating capacity, ensuring precision, consistency, and speed for projects of any size. We automate barrel speed, amperage, voltage, and plating time to deliver exact plating thickness while maintaining the highest standards of quality.

  • Precision & Traceability: Varland maintains detailed historical electronic records for all plating stations, ensuring full traceability for every job. Plating thickness is verified using x-ray fluorescence technology, ensuring consistent and accurate results across even the most demanding applications.

  • Customizable Finishes: Choose from a variety of finishes, including clear/blue, yellow, and deep black trivalent finishes on our automated line. For our clear and black finishes, we offer both inorganic and organic topcoats designed to enhance corrosion resistance, while torque modifiers are available to meet your Coefficient of Friction (COF) requirements.

  • Coverage & Flexibility: Our Zinc plating provides excellent coverage even in deep recesses and internal surfaces, ensuring that every component receives uniform protection, regardless of its geometry. We also offer a hexavalent yellow finish on our manual line for applications where this specific finish is required.

  • Industry Compliance: Our clear trivalent chromate finishes are RoHS, ELV, and WEEE compliant, meeting stringent environmental and safety standards.

Why Choose Zinc?

  • Cost-Effective Corrosion Protection: Zinc plating with clear chromate is one of the most affordable and effective solutions for corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice for industries requiring high performance at a lower cost.

  • Aesthetic Black Finish with Enhanced Durability: Varland’s deep black Zinc finish offers not only superior corrosion protection but also a sleek, modern aesthetic appeal that has become increasingly popular. Over the last decade, we’ve perfected this rich black finish, delivering a depth and gloss that rivals traditional hexavalent black chromates—without compromising on environmental standards.
