Med-Tech and Scientific components

When manufacturing medical, scientific or other products, there is often a need for surface treatment or coating to precise standards. Surface coatings or treatments may include:

• Electro-plating of components of various medical equipment (for example, chrome plating or silver plating)
• Electro-polishing of stainless steel instruments (e.g. to smooth, de-burr or brighten)
• Metal stripping, pickling or cleaning of instruments & tools
• Create reflective surfaces using polishing techniques
• Electroless nickel plating – when the job requires a harder surface or strong corrosion resistance, and/or precise dimensions after coating

Processes that may be of interest to the medical, scientific or technical industries are shown below.
