Chemistry for every bath in the line

Metal Treatment & Surface Finishing

Specialty additives for every bath in the line — cleaning, pretreatment, plating, anodising, galvanising, corrosion control and precision finishing.

Bath chemistry

Cleaner metal. More uniform finish.

Surface quality begins before deposition. Geocon connects wetting, detergency, foam control, ion management and corrosion protection to improve bath reliability and reduce rejects.

Cleaning ↔ Low Residue

Wetting ↔ Bubble Release

Coverage ↔ Adhesion

Corrosion Resistance ↔ Finish

Bath chemistry for metal treatment and surface finishing

START WITH THE OPERATION

Four routes
into the right
bath chemistry.

Navigate by process stage, then select chemistry according to bath type, pH, metal, temperature, foam tolerance and downstream finish.

01 · PREPARE

Cleaning &
Pretreatment

Degreasing, pickling, phosphating and chrome-free conversion.

02 · DEPOSIT

Electroplating

Zinc, nickel, copper, tin, precious metal and PCB finishing.

03 · CONVERT

Anodising &
Galvanising

Uniform etching, sealing, zinc adhesion and passivation.

04 · PROTECT

Coating &
Corrosion Control

Adhesion, flash-rust control, water displacement and bath life.

THE FORMULATION BENCH

Seven additives.
Every one
earns its place.

Select by function and compatibility across cleaning, plating, anodising, galvanising and corrosion-control systems.

START-TO-FINISH LINE

Control the interface
at every stage.

A uniform finish depends on what happens before, inside and after the deposition bath.

Clean

Remove oils, soils and residues without excessive foam.

Pickle

Remove rust and scale while limiting acid mist and attack.

Pretreat

Build uniform conversion coverage and coating adhesion.

Deposit

Improve throwing power, bubble release and surface uniformity.

Rinse & Seal

Reduce residue, water spotting and passivation defects.

Protect

Control corrosion, staining and handling damage.

FINISHED APPLICATIONS

Where process
chemistry becomes
product value.

Better processing must remain visible in colour, hand feel, hygiene, durability, adhesion and weight.

APPAREL & HOME

Printed & Finished Fabrics

Uniform wetting, sharp print, soft hand and durable protection.

COATED MATERIAL

PU / PVC Synthetic Leather

Smooth coating, lower density and stronger inter-layer adhesion.

TECHNICAL TEXTILES

Automotive & Performance Fabrics

Wear, stain, acoustic and hygiene performance for demanding interiors.

Textile Processing Mills Denim Laundries Digital Textile Printers Textile Coating Manufacturers Technical Textile Producers Carpet & Upholstery Makers Synthetic Leather Manufacturers Leather Tanneries Footwear Manufacturers

TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP

Support around
the whole bath.

Shorten trials through process mapping, compatibility review and bath-focused performance evaluation.

Bath Mapping

Metal, pH, temperature, electrolyte, agitation and downstream finish.

Compatibility

Ionic character, foam profile, acid/alkali stability and residue.

Starting Dosage

Low-dose screening with addition-point and replenishment guidance.

Performance Review

Wetting, pitting, deposit quality, adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Twenty-nine baths,
organised by function.

Use these groups to move quickly from the process problem to the additive class most likely to solve it.

Preparation & Conversion

Alkaline / Solvent Cleaning

Low-foam surfactants and chelants for faster oil removal and cleaner rinsing.

Acid Pickling

Acid-stable wetting and mist suppression for uniform scale removal.

Phosphating

Wetting and surface conditioning for uniform crystals, adhesion and corrosion resistance.

Zr / Ti Pretreatment

Super-wetting and adhesion promoters for low-coat-weight chrome-free systems.

Powder / E-Coat Prep

Low-residue cleaners, rinse aids and adhesion technologies.

Deposition & Protection

Zn / Ni / Cu / Sn Plating

Bubble release, anti-pitting, levelling and improved coverage in recessed areas.

Electroless / PCB

High-purity, low-residue wetting for fine features and through holes.

Anodising & Sealing

Acid-stable wetting, uniform etching and improved sealing consistency.

Galvanising

Pickling, flux coverage, passivation and white-rust resistance.

Metalworking & Storage

Foam control, microbial protection, flash-rust and temporary corrosion prevention.
