Want to set up Electroplating Unit in Malaysia 

September 4, 2009

I am interested in setting up a small size electroplating plant in Kuching,Sarawak for plating vehicle spare parts. Can anybody provide method and process to do electroplating.

Hi, Edmond. It's certainly very doable, but you must decide what kind of parts you want to plate, and what metal you want to plate them with.

Then you can leaf through a few of the "must-have" plating books, and contact a supplier of plating equipment or plating chemistry.

But you may want to contact a plating consultant, and if you are going to do this, it's always best to do it sooner rather than later because the earliest decisions are usually far more critical than the fine details that come later. Good luck.
