Alkaline Zinc and Acid Zinc Plating

Alkaline zinc uses a cyanide-free, high-pH bath. Its standout strength is uniform coating thickness, even on complex shapes, recesses and threaded parts. It also produces a smooth, fine-grained deposit and offers good throwing power. It’s well suited to components with intricate geometry and for parts that will be bent, crimped or formed after plating. Because it deposits more slowly, it’s typically chosen when consistency matters more than speed.
