WHAT IS ELECTRO-POLISHING?

Electro-Polishing is a process that improves the surface finish of our 304 stainless steel trim tab blades. Electro-Polishing delivers a smoother, more reflective surface than our standard mill finish and improves surface cleanability.

Electro-Polishing dissolves free iron, inclusions, and embedded particles from the surface of our trim tabs.

Lenco’s in-house process improves the near-surface chemistry of the material, and promotes the formation of an improved corrosion resistant surface layer.

	The raw form of all stainless steel has a mixture of unwanted surface contaminants such as iron and much needed elements such as chromium & nickel.
	An electrical charge is added in order to remove unwanted surface contaminants and concentrate the chromium & nickel at the surface.
	What is left is a stainless steel that has become much more impervious to the environment with an aesthetically pleasing “BLING” appeal.

BENEFITS OF ELECTRO-POLISHING

• Removes iron and potential contaminants from the surface of our trim tabs.
• Removes a small amount of material from the surface of our trim tab blades, also removing small burrs.
• Enhances the chromium and nickel content providing added resistance against environmental factors such as air, fresh and salt water.
• Polishes areas inaccessible by any other polishing methods.
• Provides a clean and smooth surface that is aesthetically pleasing.
