Description

Tata Steel’s NiZn-Cote® and NiZn-Cote® Plus are cold-rolled steel strip products electroplated with a nickel-zinc alloy. These high-performance products provide a cost-effective alternative to stainless steel.


NiZn-Cote® and NiZn-Cote® Plus are successfully used in a wide range of demanding applications. They offer significant benefits for your end-products and processes. These include excellent corrosion resistance and paint adhesion.


Our optimised electroplating process ensures outstanding corrosion resistance. The resistance levels are higher than those of a galvanised coating at equivalent plating thickness.


Main benefits of NiZn-Cote® and NiZn-Cote® Plus include:
  • end-products of consistent and reliable quality
  • improved end-product performance
  • trouble-free, repeatable processing
  • minimised waste
  • opportunities to reduce processing steps
  • opportunities for cost savings
  • control of substrate and base metal properties
  • it can be bent, roll formed, stamped drawn, and coined.


    There are 2 variants of coatings:
  • NiZn-Cote®: electrolytically-plated with a nickel-zinc alloy
  • NiZn-Cote® Plus: electrolytically-plated with a nickel-zinc alloy; with added polymer coating

    Please consult the supplier about other product options.
