Alkaline zinc-based galvanic coating, completely nickel free.
Coating general description
ECOPLATE™ is an alkaline zinc-based galvanic coating, sealed with topcoat developed by Agrati Tech Center. It has much better performances than any Zn coating on the market and is on par with some ZnNi coatings: it offers great performances at a competitive price with the advantage of being Ni-free.
It’s available in two different versions: clear and black.
