In today's highly competitive industrial landscape, surface finishing is no longer just an aesthetic final touch; it is a critical engineering element that directly impacts the durability, performance, and life span of industrial components. As a leading copper and zinc plating manufacturer & supplier, we stand at the intersection of material science and chemical engineering. Our systems provide vital wear resistance, high corrosion protection, and precise electric and thermal conductivity for components deployed under the most severe operating conditions.
Modern electronics, renewable energy grids, EV powertrains, and aerospace equipment depend on plating chemistries designed to withstand intense mechanical stress and chemical degradation. From preventing galvanic corrosion on automotive fasteners using advanced trivalent zinc passivation systems to ensuring high-speed copper deposition for critical printed circuit boards, we deliver state-of-the-art formulations that meet the strict requirements of major OEMs worldwide.
Discover the chemical engineering parameters that distinguish our products. We design solutions that combine surface chemistry with mechanical stability to achieve reliable performance at every step of the plating process.
Our copper electroplating additives are designed to support two main systems: acid copper and cyanide-free alkaline copper. 672 High-Speed Bright Acid Copper Plating features leveling capability and high ductility. This makes it ideal for decorative components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and plastic metallization.
Meanwhile, our 372 Alkaline Cyanide-Free Copper Plating delivers a non-hazardous pathway for direct plating on steel, brass, zinc die-castings, and aluminum alloys. It provides strong adhesion without the safety risks of traditional cyanide baths.
Our alloy plating technologies are engineered for demanding environmental conditions. 6185 Alkaline Zinc-Nickel Plating provides a consistent nickel co-deposition rate (12% to 16% Ni). This composition is optimized to protect automotive hardware, brake callipers, and exterior fasteners from galvanic and high-temperature corrosion.
This system works alongside the ZN-318Blue Trivalent Zinc-Nickel Passivation to achieve outstanding salt-spray resistance (up to 1,000 hours without red rust) while meeting RoHS directives.
Our autocatalytic nickel processes provide uniform thickness across complex geometries. The range includes HITEC EN 6786 A/B/C High Phosphorus (10% to 12% P) for excellent chemical resistance in acidic oilfield environments, and HITEC EN 6713 A/B/C Mid Phosphorus for balanced wear resistance and brightness.
Additionally, J0-1 Ultra-Low Phosphorus Electroless Nickel is formulated for electronic applications requiring low electrical resistivity and high wear resistance in high-friction systems.
A leading developer and manufacturer of advanced organic chemical formulations, specializing in functional additives, plating carriers, and passivates for demanding industrial sectors.
Our product portfolio supports a wide range of industries, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, semiconductors, automotive hardware, and consumer goods. To solve complex surface finishing challenges, we collaborate with research institutes and chemical companies to establish a mobile R&D center. Since our founding, we have set up R&D facilities in Wuhan and Shanghai.
With a distribution network covering the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Bohai Rim, our chemical systems are used and trusted by major manufacturing brands, including Foxconn Technology Group, Qinghai Salt Lake Group, Chint Group, Hongbao Group, Stanley Group, and Shifeng Group.
Our chemical formulations are developed in partnership with leading academic institutes. By combining research with industrial manufacturing experience, we help surface-finishing operations transition to modern, environmentally responsible technologies.
Our product range is organized into three major technology sectors, ensuring optimized chemical performance for varied industrial substrates.
We support our global clients with quality chemical manufacturing, reliable delivery, and technical support.
We recruit experienced technical support, sales, and quality control professionals to assist our customers.
Our flexible R&D team can adapt chemical formulations to meet specific application requirements.
We focus on developing sustainable, eco-friendly plating processes, such as cyanide-free and trivalent chemistries.
Our technical service teams assist with bath setup, parameter optimization, and troubleshooting to keep your production running smoothly.
Different operating environments require specific coating properties. Our plating systems are engineered to meet demanding requirements across several key industries.
"By matching bath chemistry to base metals, we help manufacturers improve wear resistance, electrical contact, and corrosion protection."
Electric vehicle battery components and high-tensile fasteners rely on 6185 Alkaline Zinc-Nickel Plating. The 12-16% nickel alloy layer prevents galvanic corrosion when in contact with aluminum parts, and withstands the high temperatures of modern engine compartments.
High-frequency printed circuits and connectors require consistent conductivity. Our 672 High-Speed Bright Acid Copper Plating produces ductile, low-void copper underlayers. Combined with semi-bright and pearl nickel coatings, these layers protect critical signal contacts from wear.
Hydraulic actuators and valves operate in high-wear conditions. Our HITEC EN 6786 High Phosphorus Electroless Nickel provides a uniform, hard coating on complex internal geometries. This layer helps protect components from hydraulic fluid erosion and chemical attack.
We continue to invest in research and development to address changing environmental standards and technical requirements in the plating industry.
We focus on expanding our cyanide-free plating systems and trivalent passivates, helping manufacturing operations eliminate hexavalent chromium and cyanide compounds from their facilities.
In response to changing global chemical regulations, our research teams are developing biodegradable surfactants and mist suppressants to replace fluorinated organic compounds (PFAS) in plating baths.
We are working on integrating smart dosing systems and real-time spectrophotometric analysis to help electroplaters maintain optimal chemical concentrations, reducing waste and raw material consumption.
Chemical supply stability is critical for continuous production. Suzhou Hiyie maintains modern manufacturing operations in key industrial zones to support reliable deliveries.
Located in the Yangtze River Delta industrial corridor, our facilities have access to a reliable supply of raw materials and well-established shipping networks. We maintain strategic inventories of key intermediates, helping us buffer against global transport disruptions.
Every production batch is analyzed by ICP-OES and cyclic voltammetry to verify consistent purity, thickness, and performance before shipping.
