Electroless Nickel Boron Plating

Electroless nickel boron plating (Ni-B) is an advanced surface coating technology achieved by integrating boron into the nickel matrix, providing high hardness and high temperature resistance. Also known as electroless nickel boron plating, this system is preferred especially in mold applications and high-performance environments due to its wear resistance, weldability, and solderability.

As Erkap Industrial Coating Solutions, we provide high-strength and long-lasting surface solutions for demanding working conditions, particularly in the mold and glass industries, through our electroless nickel boron process.
