Metal Chem Highlights Eco-Friendly Electroless Nickel
SUR/FIN 2021 exhibitor Metal Chem has designed EN-CONNECT, a line of electroless nickel meant to be greener without sacrificing quality.
Metal Chem Inc. will be emphasizing its EN-CONNECT electroless nickel line at SUR/FIN 2021. The EN-CONNECT product line features solutions to plate aluminum and plastic substrates that are free of phosphate, nitrate, chromium and PFAS. It is designed to be a green technology that does not sacrifice corrosion resistance or performance
According to the company, EN-CONNECT was designed to meet tightening water discharge limits and eliminate hazardous materials.

Non-PFAS Wetting Agents for Decorative Chromium(VI) Plating
This article is based on a presentation given at NASF SUR/FIN 2022, in Rosemont, Illinois, in Session 6, Responses to PFAS / PFOA. It follows the case study of three facilities’ conversion from PFAS-containing wetting agents to non-PFAS equivalents, eliminating PFAS and moving forward with a smaller and more sustainable environmental footprint. The journey of conversion from PFAS-containing wetting agents in both chromic-sulfuric etch and hexavalent decorative plating tanks can be complicated and winding due to deep rooted standard industry practices, as well as state and federal regulations. Outlined here is a clear course of action that led to eliminating PFAS from the facilities’ wetting agent strategies.
