All the benefits of CADMIUM & ZINC PLATING without the dangers!
No cyanides! No dangerous chemicals!
No fumes! No disposal problems
Sacrificial (cathodic) coating - Just like real Cadmium
Inexpensive - no need to deal with plating shops!
Excellent corrosion resistance!
Now, Copy Cad® AND Zinc plating in one kit. By simply adding a special brightener to the solution, the normally dull, flat, whitish look of Copy Cad® is transformed into a commercial quality bright zinc plate. After use, the bath reverts back to the original Cadmium look.
This simple system is designed to give professional results without a complicated 'chemistry set'.
These kits are designed to provide a professional zinc finish to a variety of substrates on small components such as workshop tools, brake boosters, brackets and zinc alloy carburetor castings.
The zinc corrodes before the steel does, sacrificing itself for the benefit of the steel. A metallurgical bond is formed between the zinc and steel forming an iron rich alloy with tenacious bond. Galvanizing can be left unpainted where it will form its own protective oxide layer.
To get the yellowing effect seen on Cadium plate you will need to submerge the plated part in a yellow chromate solution, this is an extra item that will need to be added to your order.
Also available in BLACK, OLIVE and BLUE.
