Eco Zinie 300 Alkaline Zinc-Nickel Process

Eco Zinie 300 Alkaline Zinc-Nickel Process

Fengfan's Eco-Zinie 300 is an alkaline zinc-nickel alloy process built for automotive-grade corrosion protection, and the company works as a hands-on alkaline zinc nickel plating process supplier that supports bath setup, pilot runs and long-cycle control. For lines already in production, the same team also serves as a dependable zinc nickel plating chemicals supplier, keeping additive supply, technical response and export packaging aligned with continuous plating schedules.

Scope and Fit: Where the Alkaline Process Wins

Eco-Zinie 300 is an alkaline zinc-nickel alloy process. These are the conditions the product page states it is built for, and the points worth confirming before a line trial.

Automotive

Corrosion-critical parts

Stated as an alkaline high-corrosion plating process that meets the needs of the European and American automotive industry.

Throughput

High-volume production

Described as having a wide range of current density and high efficiency, which is what keeps a running line inside its cycle time.

Format

Rack and barrel lines

Suitable for the rack and barrel plating process, so the same chemistry serves both part-presentation formats.

Stability

Long cycles

Designed for bath stability and system integration, with continuous filtration and a broad operating window.

Stated strengths

  • Alkaline, environment-friendly process rather than an acid system.
  • Zinc-nickel deposit stated at 11 to 16 percent nickel content.
  • Good process dispersion and homogeneous plating ability, with constant alloy composition.
  • White and bright deposit with good ductility, suited to rack and barrel work.
  • Bath described as easy to maintain, especially with the matched passivating agent.

Confirm before a trial

  • Which substrates and part geometries the line will run, so the rack or barrel route is fixed first.
  • The nickel content you need inside the stated 11 to 16 percent band.
  • Which passivating agent you will pair with the process, because the corrosion and thermal-shock statements are tied to the matched agent.
  • Whether your existing tank, filtration and dosing setup can take the process without hardware changes.

Chemistry Architecture: The Modular Additive System

Eco-Zinie 300 is supplied as a modular additive system of distinct components. Each one is dosed separately, so deposit characteristics can be tuned without changing hardware.

Make-up

Eco-Zinie 300 MU

Listed in the operating table at 4 to 12 ml/L, with 8 ml/L optimal for rack work and 10 ml/L for barrel work.

Complexing agent

Eco-Zinie 300 A

The complex agent in the system, dosed at 90 to 120 ml/L. It is the component behind the stated dispersion and even metal distribution.

Brightener

Eco-Zinie 300 B

The brightener, dosed at 0.5 to 2 ml/L. The page describes the resulting layer as white and bright.

Nickel

Eco-Zinie 300 C

The nickel supplement, dosed at 12 to 16 ml/L, which is how the 11 to 16 percent nickel content in the deposit is held.

The system is stated to support continuous filtration cycles that keep the bath clear, and to be compatible with standard passivation and cleaning sequences, so it slots into an existing alkaline line rather than replacing it.

Operating Parameter Table

The published operating window for Eco-Zinie 300, with the optimal values given separately for rack and barrel plating. Values are quoted as the product page states them.

Parameter Operating range Optimal (rack) Optimal (barrel)
Zinc metal (Zn²⁺) 5.0 to 10.0 g/L 7.0 g/L 9.0 g/L
NaOH 110 to 135 g/L 120 g/L 130 g/L
Eco-Zinie 300 MU 4 to 12 ml/L 8 ml/L 10 ml/L
Eco-Zinie 300 A complex agent 90 to 120 ml/L 100 ml/L 110 ml/L
Eco-Zinie 300 B brightener 0.5 to 2 ml/L 1 ml/L 1 ml/L
Eco-Zinie 300 C nickel supplement 12 to 16 ml/L 13 ml/L 15 ml/L
Temperature 23 to 28 °C 26 ± 2 °C 26 ± 2 °C
Cathode current density (Dk) 0.5 to 4 A/dm² As published for the process
Anode Nickel plate, or a special insoluble anode
Filtration Continuous filtration, 1 to 2 cycles per hour

Process flow as published: alkaline chemical degreasing → washing → acid degreasing → cleaning → activation → cleaning → zinc-nickel alloy plating → cleaning → bright dip (dilute hydrochloric acid, pH 3.5 to 4.0) → cleaning → passivation → cleaning → sealing → dry curing. Where a value is not documented for your line, confirm it with the technical team rather than assuming an industry range.

Deposit Performance and Corrosion Evidence

What the product page states about the deposit itself, and what has to be requested because it is not published.

Stated deposit properties

  • Zinc-nickel alloy layer stated at 11 to 16 percent nickel content.
  • Layer colour stated as white and bright, with good ductility.
  • Uniform deposit distribution with excellent metal distribution and constant alloy composition.
  • With the matched passivating agent, the process is stated to deliver high corrosion resistance and good thermal-shock resistance.
  • Claimed to produce a zinc-nickel deposit with high uniformity and surface consistency across substrate surfaces.

Not published on the product page

  • Salt-spray hours or corrosion test figures: no number is published, so none is claimed here.
  • Coating thickness specifications for a given part.
  • REACH, RoHS or other compliance statements: ask for the current document set for your market.
  • Deposit properties on your specific substrate: these follow a line trial, so plan the trial rather than assuming the result.

Because the corrosion and thermal-shock statements depend on the passivating agent used, keep the process and its matched passivation on the same specification sheet when you request a quotation.

Troubleshooting Matrix

Structured the other way round: start from what the line is doing, then check the documented parameter that governs it. Every figure below comes from the operating table above.

What you observe Documented parameter to check Published range
Nickel content drifting low in the deposit Eco-Zinie 300 C nickel supplement dosing 12 to 16 ml/L
Uneven distribution or poor throwing power Eco-Zinie 300 A complex agent, plus filtration continuity 90 to 120 ml/L; 1 to 2 filtration cycles per hour
Deposit dull rather than white and bright Eco-Zinie 300 B brightener, and the bright dip pH 0.5 to 2 ml/L; bright dip pH 3.5 to 4.0
Burning or rough deposit at high current Cathode current density and zinc metal content 0.5 to 4 A/dm²; 5.0 to 10.0 g/L Zn²⁺
Caustic balance drifting on a long run NaOH concentration 110 to 135 g/L
Results varying through the day Bath temperature 23 to 28 °C, with 26 ± 2 °C optimal
Consumption higher than planned Make-up component and bath maintenance routine Eco-Zinie 300 MU at 4 to 12 ml/L

This matrix maps symptoms to the published parameter set. It is a starting point for a technical conversation, not a substitute for your own bath analysis.

Line Integration, Supply and Maintenance

What integration and supply look like once the process is chosen, using the terms stated on the product page.

Integration

Stated to integrate into standard industrial plating lines without extensive adjustments, and to suit both automated systems and manually controlled setups that need high reproducibility.

Bath maintenance

Continuous filtration keeps the bath clear and in balance. The process is described as extending bath life and lowering chemical consumption and maintenance frequency.

Dosing and support

Straightforward dosing schedules are stated, supported by technical resources that help repeat the process in manual or automated lines.

Supply ability

Stated at 200,000 pcs per day, which is the figure to compare against your own monthly output before a continuous-supply agreement.

Packaging and delivery

Standard export packaging, with delivery stated at 15 to 25 working days. Minimum order quantity and price are both negotiable.

Payment terms

L/C, D/A, D/P, T/T, Western Union and MoneyGram are listed as accepted terms.

Compliance documents are matched to the order: the product page does not publish a REACH, RoHS or other certification status, so ask for the current document set for your market rather than treating certification as included.

Consumption and Cost Model

No price is published for the process, so the useful exercise is to look at what moves cost per plated part and get those numbers confirmed on your quotation.

What drives consumption

Bath life and additive dosing are the two levers the page names: the process is described as engineered to increase bath life and minimise chemical consumption, with dosing schedules that keep repeatability high.

Continuous filtration at 1 to 2 cycles per hour is part of that, because a clear, balanced bath is what keeps consumption predictable.

What to price with the supplier

Bring your monthly volume, tank volume, rack or barrel mix and target nickel content. Minimum order quantity and price are both negotiable, and delivery runs 15 to 25 working days, so the quotation can be built around your supply schedule.

Ask for the consumption figures per 1,000 parts so the cost per plated part can be compared against your current process.

Every figure in this module that would normally be a price or a consumption rate is deliberately left to the quotation: the product page publishes none, and a number invented here would be unusable in a costing sheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

what is an alkaline zinc-nickel process used for?

it deposits a zinc-nickel alloy coating on steel parts, and it is chosen where corrosion protection has to hold up longer than plain zinc. this page presents the eco-zinie 300 process for automotive-grade work such as fasteners and stamped parts.

what does the supplier help with when a line starts up?

bath setup, pilot runs and long-cycle control are handled with the plating line rather than sold as chemicals alone. production parts are run through pilot testing before the bath is committed to full output.

how do i choose between the related plating processes?

the eco-zinie 300 is the zinc-nickel option on this page, while the related fengfan lines cover bright alkaline zinc for rack and barrel plating (zn 50), a cyanide-free alkaline zinc line (zn-500) and a sulfate zinc brightener (sz-30b). choose the zinc-nickel process where corrosion demand is highest and a zinc-only line where a bright zinc finish is enough.

what has to be confirmed before placing an order?

confirm the source manufacturing capacity, the nickel content your specification calls for, and the additive consumption your line will run through. those answers decide the pack size and the replenishment rhythm.

how is additive supply kept consistent for a continuous line?

the same team supplies the additives, answers technical questions and prepares export packaging, so replenishment, technical response and shipping follow the plating schedule. consistency is judged against the process rather than against a single order.

how do i ask for technical data or a quotation?

send the substrate, the required coating thickness and the line type (rack or barrel) through the contact button on this page. the reply covers the process recommendation, the additive pack and the export documents for your destination.
