zinc plating

Zinc plating provides a protective coating that enhances corrosion resistance, extends the lifespan of metal components, and improves their durability.

Zinc Plating Services in CT

Reliable Corrosion Protection & High-Quality Finishes

At Bass Plating, we specialize in high-volume zinc plating services designed to enhance both the durability and appearance of metal components. Our advanced zinc plating processes deliver superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity and reliability across a wide range of industries. Whether you need protection from harsh environments or a sleek, polished finish, our expertise guarantees a result that meets your exact specifications.

Zinc Characteristics & Finishes

Zinc plating offers versatility in both appearance and performance. Depending on your application, finishes can range from a dull matte to a bright, chrome-like shine. At Bass Plating, we utilize specialized plating techniques and coating processes to achieve a bright, smooth, white finish that can be further enhanced through chromating or passivation.


We offer a variety of chromate colors—including clear, blue, iridescent yellow, olive drab, and black—which not only customize the look but also significantly boost corrosion resistance. For enhanced protection, we apply high-build trivalent passivates over zinc coatings, serving as:

An additional barrier for corrosion resistance

A surface primer

A decorative finish

A solution to retain electrical conductivity

It’s also important to note that pure zinc coatings have a hardness approximately one-third to one-half that of most steels, making it an excellent sacrificial layer that protects underlying metal by corroding first in aggressive environments.

Benefits of Zinc Plating

Zinc plating is valued for its ability to:

Protect Against Corrosion – Acts as a sacrificial layer, shielding metal components from rust and extending their service life.

Enhance Aesthetic Appeal – Offers a uniform, polished finish in a variety of chromate colors such as clear, yellow, black, and olive drab to meet functional and decorative requirements.

Support Electrical Conductivity – Certain finishes maintain conductivity, ideal for electronic and industrial applications.

Provide Versatile Coating Solutions – With options like passivation and high-build finishes, zinc plating adapts to demanding operational environments.

Our Zinc PLating Process

1

Parts are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and oxidation, ensuring proper adhesion of the zinc coating.

2

A chemical or mechanical treatment is applied to enhance surface bonding and improve the effectiveness of the plating process.

3

A uniform zinc coating is deposited onto the metal surface using an electrochemical process, providing excellent corrosion resistance.

4

Additional protective coatings, such as chromate conversion, are applied to enhance durability and extend the lifespan of the plated part.

5

Each component undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to ensure it meets industry standards and customer specifications before shipment.
