Large Rack and Barrel Plating
KC Jones was among the first processors in the country to offer electroless nickel plating, and today operates one of the largest rack and barrel systems in North America. This variable speed system applies hard nickel phosphorous deposits without using electricity, creating a dense, uniform coating that virtually duplicates surface topography of the part.

Custom Formulations
Versatility is the key to our engineered electroless nickel plating processes. Depending on performance needs, deposits can include combinations of hardness, wear, abrasion and corrosion resistance, lubricity, solderability, high-temperature performance, and protection from various chemicals. The customer provides the specifications and we deliver the finished product -- on time, economically, and with exacting precision.

Total Coating Uniformity
Electroless nickel deposits are produced by chemical reaction of nickel onto substrates. Since the process requires no electrical current, controllable coating deposition rates produce consistent tolerances within ± 1 to 2 microns. The result is the same amount of plate on sharp corners, edges, and flat surfaces, including blind holes, threads, channels, recesses, and internal areas of parts of all sizes and shapes.
