Whyco Metal Finishing
670 Waterbury Road, Thomaston, Connecticut, United States | Base Metal Companies
Whyco Finishing Technologies, LLC started in the electroplating business in 1946 as Whyco Chromium Co., initially concentrating on decorative chromium plating. In the 65 plus years since it’s opening, Whyco has undergone numerous expansions and has diversified into an international company with locations in the United States and China. Whyco is recognized worldwide as a specialized finishing company that provides engineered surface treatment solutions and hardened processes for the completion of manufactured goods. Working in facilities unequaled in the industry, Whyco is known for its ability to solve finishing problems through research and development. Whyco is not dependent upon outside commercial sources for its engineering design and chemistries; therefore is not limited in scope or approach to developing finishing solutions and solving finishing problems. Whyco serves as an industry resource for meeting surface treatment challenges with a rich history of advancing surface finishing technologies to new levels of performance. Recently Whyco addressed several tribological challenges adding its Triboslide and Cerafuse coatings to the company’s offerings. Whyco is renowned for innovative solutions designed to address very specific industry, regulatory, and end product performance issues. The management team at Whyco has a strong technical background with the knowledge and understanding required to develop original solutions for our customer’s most challenging problems. As a result, Whyco has formed long term collaborative relationships with many of its customers. To meet the increasing demands of the global marketplace for advanced solutions, Whyco’s collaborative network extends to the Harmony Advanced Surface Technology group. As a founding member Whyco has access to research conducted by the partnership, and an international network of surface finishing experts that span the range of issues from corrosion to decorative style.
Whyco has made a total commitment to protecting the environment maintaining all necessary environmental controls as appropriate to comply with EPA, state, and local regulations. Whyco is a closed loop facility. All water used in the plating process is recycled and reused on site.

Precision Hard Chrome Plating
Whyco Chrome Plating technology produces a smooth, adherent chrome layer, free of nodules, blisters and flaking, with excellent thickness control.
Whyco Medx Chrome Plating
Whyco Medx Chrome Plating is a proprietary decorative and functional thin dense chromium coating specially designed to be deposited upon medical devices and surgical instruments.
This USP Class VI and ISO certified coating is applied in a precision computer-controlled process cell. This results in a smooth, fine-grained deposit that is uniform in thickness and appearance.
The coated surface is free of blisters, pits, nodules and porosity. There is no edge buildup with our proprietary medical device coating. Without the edge buildup, cutting edges can be coated with no loss of cutting efficiency. Whyco Medx can be designed to coat either selective areas or it can coat the entire device or instrument.
Whyco has an engineering department dedicated to rack and fixture design/manufacturing that allows for faster tool development. This helps Whyco to keep costs low, and turnaround is improved to “best in the industry.”
In most applications, the deposit can be modified to produce either a satin or a mirror bright finish. In both cases, the Whyco Medx coating can withstand various sterilization methods and will maintain a like new appearance after more than 1,000 autoclave cycles.
The Whyco Medx coating meets or exceeds most hardness and friction requirements for medical coatings. Deposit thicknesses range from 0.00005” to more than 0.0006” with controlled tolerances.
Coating Benefits:
- USP Class IV certified
- Hardness of 70-72Rc
(1100 Vickers) - Low Coefficient of Friction
- Satin or Mirror Bright
- Uniform Thickness
