The galvanic treatments are often considered critical processes because of the many variables that can affect them and the high percentages of waste generated by improper management of production cycles.
Aware of this, we use only manual control systems that ensure effective monitoring throughout the process. The use of these machines also allows the management and the production of different models with each other ensuring a very high standard.
To our customers, more and more demanding, we are able to provide a high quality product in compliance with the agreed delivery plans.
No-allergenic and no-toxic treatments, in full compliance with Italian and international regulations.
The copper plating is the middle layer as a substrate to nickel and other evidence such as silver or gold plating.
You get a surface layer of copper to confer a greater resistance to corrosion, higher weldability and greater adhesion for subsequent treatments.
The coatings of nickel are widely used for both the appearance that give the articles, both for the protective value and for their appreciable duration.
The application of palladium is a complex galvanic process used to coat any metal; Protek has devised cycles able to make the object coated steel for always.
The application of rhodium is the surface treatment, through electrolysis, carried out by means of a salt of rhodium. It is used to give gold brighter white, silver and fashion accessories.
The galvanic gilding is a process of electrolysis used to coat the base metal with a more valuable, both to prevent corrosion as simply decorative purposes only.
These galvanized finishes include all decorative coatings that give effect made antiqued/worn.
The coating of metals, in addition to the protective action of the surfaces, also fulfills the aesthetic function indispensable for different types of products.
Luggage of rhodium pure, bright and resistant to oxidation.
The flagship of technology Protek is the Bright-aid treatment, which gives the jewelry an extreme resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
The treatments hypoallergenic of metals have a great importance, since the medicine has long established that heavy metals such as nickel, lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, aluminum and tin are responsible for many cases of allergy. Protek provides free finishes from these components.
The alkaline copper plating process is used to prepare the surfaces to receive any subsequent treatments. It is used both as a protection against atmospheric corrosion, both to improve the adhesion and the protective value of a nickel subsequently applied.
The acid copper plating baths are essentially constituted by copper sulphate and sulfuric acid. These are very used mainly for copper plating thickness. In fact, the acid baths can make special processing electroforming.
The nickel plating comes from the need to ennoble the surface of materials. This treatment makes the object more beautiful, shiny and bright. In addition, the surface of the product becomes more durable, more resistant to degradation, aging, oxidative attack and corrosion and wear.
In the field of decorative palladium has long been used for its characteristic look very white and bright, similar to that of silver, and for good resistance against corrosion and features abrasion. The deposition of palladium is the only one that looks like, shine and color, is close to that of rhodium.
Rhodium is a precious metal belonging to the platinum family. This metal is used to perform the so-called rhodium electroplating. Through this process and, after degreasing very accurate, the object is coated through a plating bath of a thin layer of rhodium thickness variable, but in the order of a few microns. This is enough to give the object a shiny and white.
The gilding is obtained when a metal is immersed in a plating bath and traversed by electric currents. The current passing from one electrode to another electrode in gold make material particles golden object. The result is a layer of very uniform and resistant, despite being very thin.
The antiqued finishes are mainly achieved by simple abrasion of the objects or with the aid of special oxidizing agents and blackening, which, attacking and attacking the surface of the deposited metal, they give the characteristic color; then through the process of "nuance" the pieces get their typical areas of light and shadow.
The Protek painting consists of immersing total piece to protect it from wear and tear. Before being painted surfaces must be treated so as to make them perfectly clean, that is more suitable to receive paint. Protek only uses varnish to avoid altering the original color.
Ruthenium is a very hard metal of the platinum group and has a high melting temperature. The color of the deposit is darker than the palladium and can be darkened further with the addition of organic matter to take up a gunmetal color. Serves as the basis for the patent that need special wear resistance.
This special galvanic treatment, subjected to extreme tests of sulphuration, guarantees a greater seal with respect to any other type of existing treatment. Bright-aid also allows you to maintain over time the splendor of silver.
Protek has always demonstrated its concern for the environment and its protection, investing resources and energy to optimize their production systems, using technologically advanced systems and performing periodic checks.
The entire chain is a galvanic CCTV and discharges are managed internally, in accordance with local Italian and European standards for environmental protection and control of gas emission. We also use only trays restraints integral to prevent leakage from the tanks and exhaust systems of the latest generation.
The protection of workers is also guaranteed by the certainty that environment and safety are the cornerstones on which wheel production efficiency del'azienda.
