Frequently Asked Questions
1) What electroplating services does Fukar provide?
Fukar provides zinc plating, zinc nickel plating, and electroless nickel plating from its Shah Alam facility, with additional coating and surface treatment support for industrial components.
2) What is the difference between zinc plating and zinc nickel plating?
Zinc plating is a cost-effective sacrificial coating for general corrosion protection. Zinc nickel is an alloy system selected for higher corrosion resistance and tougher operating environments.
3) How much corrosion resistance can zinc nickel provide?
Fukar's ASTM B841 zinc nickel process is typically specified for high-corrosion applications, with references to 500+ hours salt spray performance depending on full system and specification.
4) Why use electroless nickel plating?
Electroless nickel deposits without electrical current, giving uniform coverage on complex geometries. It is commonly selected for precision parts, wear resistance, and solderability-related requirements.
5) Does Fukar provide Xylan and fluoropolymer coating services?
Yes. Fukar provides Xylan fluoropolymer and fluoropolymer-based systems for low-friction, non-stick, and chemically demanding environments.
6) What is zinc flake coating used for?
Zinc flake is commonly used for high-strength fasteners needing high corrosion resistance without hydrogen embrittlement risk, especially in oil & gas and construction programs.
7) Is Fukar certified?
Fukar operates under ISO 9001:2015 quality systems and holds PPG Quality Approved Coater credentials, with operations aligned to DOE Malaysia compliance requirements.
8) Where is Fukar located and which areas are served?
Fukar is based in Seksyen 36, Shah Alam, Selangor, and supports Shah Alam, Klang Valley, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and broader Malaysia project requirements.
9) Can Fukar support high-volume industrial programs?
Yes. Fukar's 12,000 sq. ft. facility supports recurring industrial throughput, with public references including the PNG LNG fastener coating scope.
10) What information should I send for a quotation?
Provide part material, drawing or dimensions, required process, corrosion target or standard, quantity, and timeline so Fukar can review and quote accurately.
11) How do I contact Fukar for RFQ?
Use the contact form or reach the team directly at +6019 352 3908 or sales@fukar.com.my for technical review and quotation support.
