Yielding excellent wear and corrosion resistance, electroless nickel is an autocatalytic plating process resulting in a reflective layer of nickel phosphorous. The total build up plating process provides uniformity on all surfaces, making post machining unnecessary when dimensions are accurate.
NiCoTef®, another of Pioneer’s proprietary process brands, is an advanced electroless nickel composite coating which offers an extremely low coefficient of friction, high corrosion resistance and improved wear for a number of applications.

NorKote I™ is Pioneer’s electroless nickel process that offers corrosion and wear resistance as well as lubricity in one single coating. This is the most common type of electroless nickel plating.
NorKote II™ process adding a post nickel PTFE surface treatment and bake for improved hardness, surface lubricity and wear resistance.
NorKote III™ process with mechanical pretreatment, PTFE surface treatment and bake to provide improved lubricity and wear resistance. This process produces a rough surface finish of 100-200 R.M.S.
