    The document discusses electroless nickel coatings called Apticote 400 that provide wear resistance, corrosion protection, and aesthetic benefits. Apticote 400 coatings can be applied in thin, uniform layers to metals and hardened to 1,000Hv. They exhibit high corrosion protection and wear resistance, protecting substrates for over 500 hours in salt spray endurance testing.

    ELECTROLESS NICKEL

    The Apticote 400 electroless nickel range, deposited by a complex solution, results in a remarkably even
    coating. From the range of coating options available, your requirements for wear resistance, corrosion
    protection (even in the most extreme environments) and aesthetic needs will be met.

    Poeton’s strength lies in our fully automated lines, with a LOW WEAR & HIGH HARDNESS
    unique control system that accurately maintains the bath In abrasive situations, Apticote 400 Electroless Nickel
    chemistry and provides a constant deposition rate. can reduce the wear on substrates like stainless steel by
    over 50%. In adhesive, metal-to-metal situations, Apticote
    Apticote 400 electroless nickel coatings can be applied 400 provides even greater wear protection. The hardness
    in very thin deposits (minimum 5μm) with uniformity of the Apticote 400 nickel matrix can be increased
    and dimensional precision on most metallic substrates, to 1,000Hv by heat-treatment at 400˚C. Our superior
    including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, aluminium process control ensures the best coating quality, with
    and titanium. This allows the designer to choose the high hardness without excessive residual coating stress to
    substrate and mating parts on the basis of a need for cause brittleness.

    CORROSION PROTECTION
    APTICOTE 400 OPTIONS Corrosion protection by electroless nickel relies on the
    For maximum toughness and general integrity of the coating; it is not a sacrificial layer and
    Apticote 400N wear protection
    provides only a diffusion barrier. Hence, Poeton’s high
    Apticote 400N Heat-treated for improved wear resistance
