Surface finishing support for high-reliability manufacturing environments.
Aerospace, defense, and space manufacturers depend on repeatable processes, corrosion protection, controlled deposits, clean surfaces, reliable equipment, and documented process performance.
Ronatec supports these operations with more than individual products. Our team helps manufacturers evaluate chemistry, equipment, tanks, ventilation, controls, calibration, wastewater treatment, and line performance as connected parts of the same production system.
What This Means
- Support for regulated and high-performance manufacturing environments
- Chemistry and equipment guidance for plating and finishing lines
- Process support for corrosion resistance, consistency, and reliability
- Lifecycle support for existing systems, upgrades, and troubleshooting
Paladin high and medium phosphorus electroless nickel.
Finishing requirements vary by component and program. Ronatec supplies Paladin 2012 high phosphorus and Paladin 2000 medium phosphorus electroless nickel plating chemicals, backed by technical support, process engineering and plating equipment.
Paladin 2012
High Phosphorus Electroless Nickel Chemistry
For finishing teams evaluating demanding corrosion requirements alongside as-plated hardness and wear performance. The process produces a semi-bright, high phosphorus deposit.
- 10.6–12.0% phosphorus by weight
- Up to 10,000 hours NSS reported under ASTM B117
- 550–600 HK reported as-plated Knoop hardness
- Single-component make-up and 1:1 A:C replenishment
Paladin 2000
Medium Phosphorus Electroless Nickel Chemistry
For production teams evaluating bright deposits, corrosion protection and plating throughput. Ronatec helps match the chemistry to coating requirements and operating conditions.
- 7–9% phosphorus by weight
- 300–400 hours NSS reported under ASTM B117
- 0.7–0.9 mil/hour typical deposition at optimum parameters
- Single-component make-up and 1:1 A:C replenishment
Reported properties depend on substrate, surface preparation, deposit thickness, processing and test conditions. Review product-specific supporting data and confirm the applicable specification, qualification and customer approval requirements for each component and program.
