Pretreaters - Import export

Pretreatment is a crucial step in electroplating. During the manufacturing of components, oils and fats are used to facilitate the machining of the workpieces and temporarily protect the metal surface from corrosion. Before the electroplating process, these oils and fats must be removed from the workpiece to be plated, as any residues can lead to coating defects. A thorough pretreatment is an important prerequisite for a high-quality coating. Depending on the process sequence, pretreatment may involve multiple steps. In this group of processes, Schlötter offers boiling or hot degreasing, electrolytic degreasing for a variety of base materials such as steel, copper, brass, as well as pretreatments for aluminum and zinc die casting.
