Plating Capabilities - Slik Shot®
Slik Shot® | Chrome Plus | Nutmeg Nichromold® | Electroless Nickel | Hard Chromium | Thin Dense Chrome | Polishing

Slik Shot®, a high-end finish offered exclusively by Nutmeg Chrome
, wears better and lasts longer than standard Nickel Teflon® coatings.

Nutmeg's Slik Shot® process is an electroless-plated coating of a nickel phosphorus alloy with Teflon® particles evenly dispersed throughout the coating, offering optimum performance. With Teflon® particles included as an integral part of the plating deposit, corrosion resistance and wearability are greatly enhanced.

Cross section shows Teflon® particles evenly dispersed throughout the entire plated deposit, providing continuous lubricity and wear properties. In addition, this combination of nickel and Teflon® polymers offers an extremely low coefficient of friction, which makes it an attractive choice for applications that require superior mold release. This process is especially well-suited for use with molding applications that utilize plastics, epoxies, and silicones, where it enhances mold release characteristics, eliminating the need for release sprays.
