Topic: WHITE ZINC?????

Can anyone help me and tell me if there is such a thing as white zinc plating?  I have a customer that specifically call out for it.  I have called a lot of platers and I get the same answer, "there is no such thing."  I'm told that it doesn't look like regular zinc with a bluish hue, but looks more like cadmium.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks! Amanda

Hi.

On WHITE Zinc we have this solution we used in China to match the cadmium look on Zinc Plated small electric motor housings.

The product called Chro 2001 is used at 110 mls per liter at 25 centigrade at a ph of 1.5 for an immersion time of approximately 30 to 45 seconds to produce a haze free, NON yellowing and iridesence free MILK white , bright deposit which runs SST @ around 60 - 72 and more hours to White rust without any lacquer or Topcoat.

This runs well over Alkaline , Acid and even Cyanide Zinc coatings.

The Chro 2001 is made by a company in India  and we used to import this to China.  I am not sure this site allows commercial info so contact details are not added.
