Technical Guide
Our Metal Coatings Technical Guide is the "Big Brother" to S A Metal Finisher. The most recent forerunner of this publication was distributed in 2011. It was always expected that a manual of this nature would need to be updated from time to time
A lot changes over the course of a decade. Companies go out of business or merge with others, new companies start from scratch. Familiar faces leave the industry one way or another, new entrants stake their claims.

Ongoing research drives the development of better proprietary chemical  systems as well as the plant used in their application.

The world we live in changes. We know more about the harmful effects of our activities and the things we used and we have access to better ways of doing things.

These are the reasons underpinning our motivation to bring this new publication to the industry.

Originally named the "Metal Finishing Handbook and Buyer's Guide" we have now retitled it to reflect that we are talking about various coatings applied to metals.
