Over 30 Years.
Progress for Industry, Inc. is known for our superior plating for the molding industry. Our experienced craftsmen have been servicing industries across the US and internationally for over 30 years. We have expertise in Dura Slick (a dry lubricant coating with a low coefficient of friction makeup), Lubricoat (an electroless nickel coating with Teflon), hardcoat anodize platings, nickel boron nitride coatings, and other nickel coatings, which have made us the go-to source for reliable plating on injection mold tooling and other components.
Dura Slick | Mold Release Coatings
Dura Slick is a metal plating selection that is the most popular with our injection mold plating customers. PFI’s Dura Slick mold release coating differentiates over any competitor by offering an extremely low coefficient of friction and wear resistance, we recommend this option for large and small electronics, medical components, and other molding industry projects. We also provide standard electroless nickel plating services.
Lubricoat
This innovative coating, composed of nickel, phosphorous, Teflon and lubricity inducing polymers, aid in the release of plastic from the mold component making it a favorite in the molding industry. Also, because of the presence of phosphorous and nickel, it is excellent for corrosion protection.
Nickel Boron Nitride Plating
Our expertly plated Nickel Boron Nitride coatings have uniform thickness and are excellent prevention against wear. It is a great choice for selective plating, and PFI is a leader in the intricate technique. We offer electroless nickel boron nitride platings and three baths for satin nickel plating, black nickel plating, and ductile sulfamate coatings.
Electroless Nickel Plating
PFI offers quality electroless nickel platings with two baths for satin nickel platings and black nickel platings. All electroless nickel platings provide excellent corrosion protection, lubricity, and hardness. Electroless nickel plating is the number one corrosion protection coating for injection molding manufacturing.
Type II & Type III Anodizing
This dielectric surface coating improves abrasion resistance and is excellent plating for corrosion resistance. It improves the appearance of aluminum. Type II comes in many color selections, and Type III is made to military standards. Masking and selective plating is also available for close tolerance parts.
Other Metal Plating Services
Alongside our most popular services such as Dura Slick and Lubricoat, we also offer services including electrodeposited tin plating, industrial hard chrome plating, electropolishing & stainless steel passivation, chrome impregnation, engineering nickel plating, and zinc plating.
