Val-Kro, Inc Gives Hardcoat The Proper Chill

Val-Kro, Inc. Installs State Of The Art Aluminum Anodizing Line
North Tonawanda, New York, USA, June 24, 2009 – Val-Kro, Inc., a leading provider of industrial plating services, is now offering aluminum anodizing services at its New York production facility. Val-Kro has been providing industrial plating services to the automotive, aerospace, and medical industries since 1960.

According to General Manager Jim McCarrick, Val-Kro is having success penetrating the hardcoat anodize market. McCarrick believes their success in attracting hardcoat customers is directly related to the chilling capability of their anodize system. “Hardcoat anodizing requires the anodizing cell to maintain a temperature of between 32 and 34 degrees F, McCarrick said. “Our processing line is properly equipped with a chiller to attain this temperature which eliminates the need to use additives to reduce the bath temperature.” He indicated that proper chilling results in more consistent thickness and hardness across the surface of the anodized part.
