A Beginner’s Guide to Iridite NCP
Dorsetware specialises in metal plating and electroplating, and one of the finishes it administers is iridite NCP plating and coating. The iridite NCP process produces a protective, corrosion-resistant coating on aluminium and its alloys. For this reason, it’s ideal to use as a standalone finish, but it is also favoured to use a base for paints, lacquers and high-performance topcoats as it provides a clean, adhesive surface.
What is the Iridite NCP process?
We use an environmentally friendly chemical process to provide an iridite plating and coating on customer products.
