Information Next Generation Funds for the installation of solar panels
On 29 June 2021, the Council of Ministers, at the proposal of the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, approved Royal Decree 477/2021 for the implementation of various incentive programmes linked to self-consumption and storage, with renewable energy sources, as well as the implementation of renewable thermal systems in the residential sector, […]
Installation of Photovoltaic Panels
As an electro-intensive company, energy consumption is one of the most important factors in our activity. For this reason, we are committed to renewable energies with the installation of photovoltaic panels on the roof of our warehouse. This project has been one of the largest investments for Inelca in 2022. The installation of photovoltaic panels […]
Keys to selecting a good coating applicator

These are the key considerations to ensure a quality finish and reasonable delivery. […]
Evaporation: Environmental solution
As part of Inelca’s continuous effort to minimise the environmental impact of its activity, our company has incorporated a mechanical compression evaporator for the treatment of waste water from the Zinc Nickel (ZnNi) processes. The incorporation of this water treatment technology is intended to cover several objectives: Minimisation of water consumption: By means of the […]
Post-pandemic economic situation in the electroplating sector
After more than a year of trying to overcome the serious problems caused by the pandemic, and when it seems that the clouds are beginning to clear with the immunisation of the population through the vaccine, new obstacles are appearing on the horizon in the industrial sector that only hinder the exit of companies. Focusing […]
Electrodeposition
Electrodeposition is the phase of the electrolytic treatment where the parts are coated with a thin layer (microns) of the metal or alloy that we want to deposit. To do this, the parts are immersed in an electrolytic solution, called electrolyte, which contains ions of the metal or metals that will form the layer. A […]
Prevention & Innovation
The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to quickly alter our habits. It is now up to companies to ensure compliance with rules of conduct that allow safe activity. That is why INELCA, aware of the culture of prevention and complying with the Law on the Prevention of Occupational Risks, has incorporated the […]
Preparation/Cleaning
For a correct application of any surface treatment, the state of the surface on which it is to be applied is essential. Because the parts on which the coating is to be applied come from previous processes (stamping, machining, threading, heat treatment, etc…), they must be subjected to cleaning processes prior to the deposition of […]
Corrosion tests II: Most common types of tests
In the previous instalment of this publication we saw the definition, purpose and limitations of corrosion tests, in this instalment we will discuss the most widespread types of corrosion tests used to test metal parts coated with sacrificial metals such as Zn, ZnFe, ZnNi and Zn flakes. SST: The initials of this test correspond to […]
