PRE-TREATMENTS
An excellent pre-treatment is necessary to achieve good adhesion in galvanic deposits, it is an essential first step to ensure a top quality result.

ENERKEM
This is a range of universally applicable degreasers for chemical and electrolytic immersion steps on steel, brass, zamak, aluminium, iron and plastic. Products are supplied in concentrated powder or liquid form.
DERUST KEM
This is the complete range of universal pickling chemicals and additives for steel, iron, zinc die-casting and other non-ferrous metals. The processes are supplied as concentrated liquids or powders.
ANTI-CORROSION
Our anti-corrosion products offer the highest performance protection against iron corrosion in galvanised coatings and zinc alloys. With additional post-treatment, this protection can be significantly improved.
ZINKEM TECH is the cyanide-free alkaline zinc range for bright zinc deposits based on potassium or sodium. They feature excellent metal distribution and produce ductile, stress-free zinc layers even at high thicknesses, suitable for static and Roto-barrel applications.
ZINC-NICKEL; Thanks to our partnership with Schlötter Galvanotechnik, we offer the innovative SLOTOLOY ZN 80 VX and SLOTOLOY ZN 210 VX systems.
The formation of cyanide and organic decomposition products in the Zn-Ni bath is a well-known problem. With the new VX anodes, a special alloy patented and registered by Schlötter, these undesirable effects will be minimised and electrolyte efficiency will remain constant.
ZINKEM LUX is the range of acid zinc, a process that can be used both roto- and statically, imparts an excellent gloss and penetration to the deposit. The surfactants used give a stable mist point above 75°C. The surfactants used allow working with blown air, due to their low foaming power.
ZINKEM DIP PASSIVATION is the range of chemical passivation’s, which, applied as a post-treatment, impart greater corrosion resistance to coatings of zinc and its alloys.

ALUMINIUM
The ALUXKEM line designed by KEMIA for the coating of aluminium alloys consists of special pre-treatments and a low-temperature chemical nickel-plating process. The ALUXKEM EN 520 process makes it possible to obtain an excellent coating with a nickel-phosphorus alloy (4-6 % phosphorus) with low thickness and high adherence, which means that the part subsequently treated with KEM TECH 430 cyanide-free alkaline copper plating, CUPROKEM 450 acid copper plating and our KEMALLOY WH350 white bronze process proves to be totally hypoallergenic according to tests carried out in accordance with UNI EN 1811:2011.
