Plating services apply a thin coating of metal to the surface of a substrate in order to improve conductivity, prevent rust and corrosion, and facilitate soldering. There are two basic plating techniques: electroplating and electroless plating

Plating and anodizing equipment is used to apply a finish to a products to increase its durability or to resist corrosion

Plating and anodizing chemicals and supplies consist of metal salts, anodes and other consumables for the electro-deposition or electroplating of metal films or anodized layer formation

Plate forming services cut, roll, form, and weld metal plates, typically greater than 3/16

Plate beamsplitters are semi-mirrors, which reflect part of the incident energy (absorb a relatively small part) and transmit the rest. Some are neutral and some are spectrally selective

Label, tag and nameplate services design and manufacture labels, tags, nameplates and related products for identification, inventory control, packaging, decoration, and regulatory compliance. Companies produce serial number plates, instruction labels, RFID tags, shipping and packaging labels, company logos, decals, fleet wraps, barcode labels, and other forms of identification for products that require the display of alphanumeric or graphical images.

Hot plates are used for heating samples and are used as an alternative to a Bunsen burner when an open flame would be dangerous. Hot plate stirrers are used to mix samples, with or without the application of heat.

Plastic plate, rod and semi-finished shapes include shaped plastic parts and semi-finished plastic stock

Patch panels are groups of ports used to connect lines between communications and electronic devices. Connections are made manually with small patch cords, and are easier to wire than automatic switches. Wireless patch panels are also available.

Metals and alloys in the form of flat plates or metal plate stock

Waveplates and retardation plates are optical elements with two principal axes, one slow and one fast, which resolve an incident polarized beam into two mutually perpendicular polarized beams. The emerging beam recombines to form

Carbon steels and alloy steels are ferrous alloys that contain carbon and other alloying elements such as manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and nickel.

Specialty coating and finishing services perform specialized or proprietary coating and finishing processes.

Aluminum and aluminum alloys are lightweight, non-ferrous metals with good corrosion resistance, ductility and strength.

Protective liners and lining systems protect an underlying surface from corrosion, wear, erosion, heat or fire. They may also provide leak protection or fluid containment.
