In the heart of Dubai, Skye Metal Coating takes pride in offering state-of-the-art Electroless Nickel Plating services, setting the standard for excellence in metal finishing. As a leading provider in the region, we specialize in the electroless deposition of a nickel-phosphorous alloy, ensuring superior uniformity, corrosion resistance, and lubricity for a wide array of applications.
Understanding Electroless Nickel Plating in Dubai:
It is a sophisticated process that involves co-depositing a nickel-phosphorous alloy onto metallic substrates without the need for an externally applied electrical current. This chemical reduction process ensures a flawless and uniform coating, free from the issues associated with traditional electrolytic nickel plating, such as edge buildup and non-uniform coating.
The key advantages of electroless nickel deposits include exceptional uniformity, resistance to corrosion and erosion, and excellent lubricity. Skye Metal Coating employs advanced technology to deliver high-quality electroless nickel plating services tailored to meet the stringent requirements of various industries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What are the benefits of electroless nickel plating?
A: ENP presents a formidable shield against corrosion, showcasing exceptional resistance to corrosive elements like saltwater, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and hydrogen sulphide. The high phosphorus deposits in ENP, ranging from 10-14%, exhibit an amorphous structure, eliminating grain or phase boundaries that could initiate corrosion. Notably, ENP surpasses electrolytic deposits in uniformity, ensuring a consistently thick coating across the entire substrate, even in intricate areas like slots, holes, and tubing walls. Remarkably, corrosion-resistant high phosphorus ENP retains commendable hardness and wear resistance without requiring heat treatment. In addition to its protective prowess, ENP stands out as a cost-effective solution, extending the service life of components subjected to wear and corrosion conditions and providing a more economical alternative to corrosion-resistant alloys.
Q: How much does electroless nickel plating cost and how long will it take?
A: The minimum charge will be AED 150. The duration varies based on the project size and complexity, but our efficient processes ensure timely completion without compromising quality. Usually it takes 1 – 3 working days.
Q: What is the purpose of ENP?
A: The purpose of e-nickel plating is to provide excellent corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and hardness to metal surfaces. This process involves the deposition of a uniform and durable nickel-phosphorus layer, offering protection against corrosive elements and enhancing the longevity and performance of the coated components.
Q: What are the disadvantages of electroless nickel plating?
A: One drawback is the potential for hydrogen embrittlement, which can compromise the mechanical properties of certain materials. Additionally, the process may involve the use of toxic chemicals, posing environmental and health concerns in some cases.
Q: What is the difference between electrolytic nickel plating and electroless nickel plating?
A: Electrolytic nickel plating relies on an electric current to deposit nickel onto a substrate, allowing for precise control but may result in uneven coating thickness. In contrast, electroless nickel plating is a chemical process that deposits a uniform nickel-phosphorus layer without the need for electrical current, offering excellent coverage even in complex geometries.
