To Defence and Mil standards – may be dyed.

Sulphamate nickel plate. 1m x 60cm dia.

Dull acid tin plating and dull alkaline tin plating.

Nu-Pro operate an electroless nickel facility that has the capability to offer electroless nickels from low to high phosphorus contents. Typically Nu-Pro operates with medium phosphorus content. The facility consists of two processing tanks, two storage tanks and a nitric acid tank for cleaning the processing tanks. This allows continuous operation.
