Copper plating is an electroplating process in which a layer of copper is deposited onto metal surfaces. This finish forms a layer of pure copper with controlled thickness, strong adhesion and high conductivity, and is used both as a final finish and as an intermediate layer for processes such as nickel plating, chrome plating or gold plating.
At Quimarte, copper plating is carried out with strict control of electrochemical parameters and rigorous quality standards, serving sectors such as the automotive industry, electrical industry, decoration and industrial design.
The coating thickness can be adjusted according to its function: from a few microns for conductivity to thicker layers for protection or engineering purposes (such as in industrial moulds).
Advantages of Copper Plating
- High electrical conductivity
- Adhesion
- Corrosion protection
- Aesthetic finish
- Surface repair

Frequently Asked Questions
Copper plating is a stage in surface treatment, providing effective anticorrosion protection to the base material.
Yes. The thickness is adjusted based on the electric current and immersion time. We adapt the process according to the technical requirements of the part.
Copper has a naturally reddish (orange-red) colour. It can be kept polished or protected with a transparent lacquer.
It depends on the complexity, quantity and purpose of the part. Contact us for an exact timeframe based on your specifications.
