Electroplating & Surface Treatment
What Industries Use Electroplating Services?
Electroplating, fluoropolymer coating, anodising, and surface treatment services are used across almost every industrial sector. Manufacturers specify these finishes to protect metal parts from corrosion, reduce wear, improve electrical or thermal properties, and extend product life in demanding operating environments.
At Fukar in Shah Alam, we support Malaysian manufacturers in automotive, oil and gas, electronics, construction, and general engineering. Each sector has different performance requirements, standards, and quality documentation expectations, and our ISO 9001:2015 quality system is set up to manage these differences consistently.
The automotive industry relies on zinc-nickel plating for brake systems and corrosion-critical fasteners. Oil and gas projects specify Xylan and Xylar coatings for severe-service bolting and valves exposed to salt, pressure, and temperature cycling. Electronics manufacturers use electroless nickel and anodising for connectors, housings, and heat-dissipating components. Construction and infrastructure suppliers need zinc plating and zinc flake coatings for structural fasteners and anchors.
Whether the requirement is OEM qualification, project-specific coating stacks, or recurring production finishing, our team reviews the application, material, and target standard to recommend the right process route.

Common Questions
Industries & Applications FAQs
What industries use electroplating services?
Electroplating is used in automotive, oil and gas, electronics, aerospace, construction, medical devices, and general manufacturing. It provides corrosion protection, wear resistance, electrical conductivity, and decorative finishes.
Which surface treatment is best for outdoor fasteners?
For outdoor and structural fasteners, zinc-nickel plating, zinc flake coating, and hot-dip galvanizing are common choices. The best option depends on required corrosion hours, base material, and cost target.
Can one component need multiple surface treatments?
Yes. Some components require a plating layer for corrosion protection and a topcoat for lubricity or colour coding. Fukar can manage multi-stage finishing programs under one quality plan.
Do you support project-specific standards?
Yes. We work with customer drawings, OEM specifications, and industry standards such as ASTM, AMS, and MIL to align process parameters and documentation.
