"Kanigen plating" is the product name of our electroless nickel coating (Ni-P alloy coating) and is still used today as the synonym for electroless plating. It is used for a broad range of industrial commodities, the characteristics of which include high uniformity in thickness, high corrosion resistance and high hardness.
KANIFLON® is an electroless nickel coating with submicron PTFE particle components. Its properties are high uniformity in coating thickness, high hardness and in addition to this self-lubricity which is the feature of PTFE. The main application purpose is providing lubrication and prevention of seize, etc. at the sliding area. The content of the PTFE particle can be adjusted according to the usage.
KANIBORON® is an alloy coating consisting of 3 elements: Ni (Nickel), P (Phosphorus) and B (Boron). It has a hardness of about Hv700 without the heat treatment and high fracture toughness. It is most suitable for use in sliding parts such as precision components made of aluminum that cannot be heat-treated. Moreover, it has superior qualities in heat resistance and impact resistance.
CERAMICKANIGEN® is an electroless nickel coating with submicron ceramic particle (Sic) components. Its properties are firstly excellent abrasion resistance surpassing that of hard chrome, which is derived from the characteristic of ceramics and high uniformity in coating thickness and high hardness. It is most suitable for sliding parts that are prone to becoming intensely worn out such as filing down.
KANIBLACK® is innovative electroless plating. It forms a black coating uniformly by submerging the objects into the plating solution and develops over time. We were the first in the industry to develop this technique. It is ideal for optical components which require low reflectivity of light and is used in NASA satellites. Additionally, KANIBLACK® has been highly acclaimed in the heat radiation purpose of the semiconductor device and the integrated circuit.
KaniHaste® is our newly developed electroless alloy coating consisting of Ni(Nickel), Co (Cobalt), W(Tungsten) and P(Phosphorus) which combines high hardness in the precipitation (Hv770) and under high temperature (Hv560 at 300℃). The sliding characteristic under the high temperature is strengthened and this characteristic is also valid under non-lubricant condition.
We supply various types of electroless plating solutions, such as electroless nickel coatings, alloy coatings and composite coatings, depending on customer’s specific usage and conditions.
In addition to this, a variety of electroless plating solutions, qualified by ELV, WEEE and RoHS are available, satisfying the environmental laws and regulations which get stricter year by year.
We supply not only various electroless plating solutions, but also various treatments such as pre-treatments, catalytic activators, post-treatments and stripping solutions.
We provide technical advice and customization to optimize the surface treatment processes which enable customers to use our plating solution more effectively.
supports the optimal condition of the plating solution by analyzing and recording the nickel concentration, pH, temperature and replenish each solution automatically.
The filter pump filters the plating solution in circulation and removes impurities.
Our SFVP series filter pump is the filtering device which makes the plating solution circulate and removes impurities during the plating process under the high temperature over long hours.
