EPi Metalworking Products Help Parts Stay Stronger, Longer
EPi sealing and finish products inhibit corrosion and prevent rust/oxidation.
EPi’s E-Brite 5.0 CU is a formula that is said to solve the immersion problem in copper barrel plating. It plates directly onto zinc diecast, and the resulting plating sticks to the casting. It features uniform, low-current-density distribution and throwing and covering power, especially in low-current areas.
The company’s E-Passivate yellow-red is a single-dip, yellow passivation for zinc-plated substrates formulated to offer salt-spray resistance for as many as 200-250 hours to white rust without an additional topcoat. Also, the E-Mist NF is a fluoride-free, biodegradable mist suppressant for hex-chrome. It is a special blend of surfactants that do not contain PFOA-, PFOS- or PFO-related components, according to the company. It uses halogen-free chemistry and is utilized in chrome-anodizing and chrome-plating solutions to reduce surface tension.
