Electroless deposition of nickel-phosphorus alloy (Ni-P) coatings is very popular in many industrial applications due to its unique properties such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, non-magnetism, improved micro-hardness and coating thickness uniformity.

Due to its amorphous character and passivity, the corrosion resistance of these coatings, especially of high-P EN, is excellent and in many environments even better than that of pure nickel or chromium alloys.

Global regulations have restricted the use of heavy metals as stabilizers and brighteners in electroless nickel processes, so today's new generation of high-P EN processes use metal-free or toxic heavy metal-free stabilizers. These are not only environmentally friendly alternatives, but also offer improved process parameters and coating properties in terms of deposition rate, P content, internal stresses, tribological properties and corrosion resistance.

With a strong commitment to sustainability, Atotech continues to pioneer the conversion of the coating industry to environmentally sound processes and currently offers a complete range of electroless nickel processes that meet and exceed all national environmental regulations. Therefore, we are pleased to present in this webinar our latest development of ELV, ROHS and WEEE compliant, highly corrosion resistant EN processes meeting the ever-increasing industrial requirements.
