Zinc Plating Services

MIP, Inc. offers the flexibility to handle production runs of varying sizes to suit your zinc plating needs.

Zinc is a bluish-white deposit, which serves as a decorative and inexpensive protective metal with many advantages. Zinc acts as a coating against atmospheric corrosion of iron and steel parts, prevents oxidation by forming a barrier and acts as a sacrificial anode when the barrier is damaged, plus it prevents the breakdown of the substrate surface integrity as it forms.

Zinc plating is further protected by the application of post-plating treatments, such as chromates and sealers.

MIP has two, 450-gallon tanks on its zinc line. Plating thickness is measured with our in-house XRF x-ray devices or micrometers. We offer barrel plating or rack plating.
