NWT Metalux improves its range of electroplating finishes: new management system of the Pearl Nickel bath

Continuous research into cutting-edge processes for an higher and higher quality

With over sixty years of experience in metal processing and finishing, NWT Metalux stands out in the industrial landscape for its ability to offer high-end, customized aesthetic treatments for demanding sectors such as high-end furniture, technical and decorative lighting, automotive, fashion accessories, railway, and household appliances.

The company’s electroplating department is constantly updated to meet the highest standards in terms of resistance, coating uniformity, aesthetic performance, and compatibility with various substrates. Thanks to automated systems and qualified technical personnel, NWT Metalux guarantees:

• Controlled thickness
• Perfect cohesion on surfaces such as brass, zamak, steel, stainless steel, and aluminum
• Resistance to corrosion, wear, and oxidation
• Compliance with REACH and RoHS regulations

To further refine its aesthetic offering, the company has installed a new bath management system for Pearl Nickel.
Pearl Nickel is a matt, satin-finish variant of classic nickel, characterize by controlled brilliance and a highly elegant "soft metal" effect. It is particularly appreciated in applications requiring a technical and sophisticated finish, such as decorative lighting and interior design products.

The new system, equipped with a filtering pump and dosing unit, ensures consistent finish replication by maintaining the satin additive at the correct dosage and in optimal chemical conditions. This results in exceptionally high-quality finishes with the exact degree of matt effect required, ranging from semi-gloss to full matte finishes.

Thanks to this base finish, NWT Metalux can offer a complete range of aesthetic variants with the subsequent application of other coating such as, bright chrome and black chrome, gold and light gold, gunmetal, and more.

Through synergy with the polishing and satinizing division, the range can be further enriched with highly glossy, brushed, and sandblasted finishes.

Each processing cycle is submitted by rigorous quality checks, including thickness, adhesion, color, and salt spray resistance tests, in accordance with customer specifications.

For companies looking for a reliable, flexible, and technically skilled partner, NWT Metalux is a benchmark in the aesthetic treatment of metals.
