About Boos Metal Finishing
Adolf Boos GmbH & Co. KG is a owner-managed medium-sized surface finishing company headquartered in Iserlohn. Founded in 1912, the company electroplats metal components (zinc, zinc-iron, zinc-nickel) as well as applies chemical treatments (phosphating, pickling, degreasing, blackening) in rack and barrel automatic lines. The bath capacities cover all lot sizes, from small (very small) series to large series. In addition to coating, Boos offers complete solutions: raw parts pickup, shot blasting, chromating/passivation, tempering for hydrogen embrittlement relief, sealers and top coats, consignment warehouse as well as delivery to the end customer. Additionally, the company handles sorting and inspection, packaging and picking, marking, thread locking, and assembly of small subassemblies. Customers come from the automotive, electrical engineering, renewable energies, mechanical engineering, construction and fittings industries, and aircraft manufacturing. Around 30,000 sqm of total floor space across two plant sites in Iserlohn employs 65 permanent staff.

Materials & Processes
Zinc (electrolytic)
Corrosion protection in transparent, blue, yellow, black, olive and DiSP (thick-layer passivated), Cr-VI-free and Cr-VI-containing.
Zinc-iron (electrolytic)
Alloy layer in yellow, black and DiSP for increased corrosion protection.
Zinc-nickel (electrolytic)
Highly corrosion-resistant alloy layer in transparent, DiSP and black.
Zinc phosphate
Chemical phosphating as corrosion protection and adhesion base.
Manganese phosphate
Chemical phosphating for wear protection and running-in behavior.
