PLATING SOLUTIONS FOR THE 21ST CENTURY
Our extensive surface solutions experience shines in this recent plating project. The corrosion in the “Before” image is the result of steam and water from the EPS foam molding process. In a typical molding cycle, steam is initially used to expand the foam, followed by cooling water to stop the expansion. Each of these cycles can range from 30 seconds to 2-3 minutes, and it's not uncommon for a mold to undergo 100,000 cycles or more annually, depending on production demand. The specific cavities in this project have likely endured approximately 250,000 cycles since they were last coated. The “After” image is the final result of our 6-Point Bales Plating Process.
