Simplifying Surface Finishing®

It's What We Do

Running a surface finishing operation is anything but simple.

At Columbia Chemical, we understand this fact and we work from this point of understanding every single day.

Our company began with the partnership of two talented chemists who recognized that the surface finishing industry was moving toward alkaline cyanide-free zinc plating, and they led the way with their breakthrough COLZINC® ACF-II Process. Focused on developing products that were easy to use, provided superior results, and most importantly solved problems for plating shops around the world; the next breakthrough came with the development of our SpectraMATE® 25, thick film zinc passivate that was cost-effective and provided corrosion protection levels which far exceeded the competition and met the needs of the global automotive finishing market.

This problem-solving foundation became a critical part of Columbia Chemical’s product development success through the years and it continues today. The main focus of our Research and Development Department is to grow our product line through the development of high-quality innovative products that are rooted in our core purpose: Simplifying Surface Finishing®.

Our products have a reputation for high quality and dependability among surface finishers who want top results from their plating chemistry. We pride ourselves on providing the technical support and expertise to solve plating challenges, enhance plant efficiency, and control costs. Our ultimate goal is to partner with our customers to make their job easier.

We know those surface finishing companies, electroplaters and specialty chemical distributors have many choices when it comes to choosing a plating chemistry supplier. We appreciate our customer’s belief in our core purpose of Simplifying Surface Finishing® and we value the opportunity to serve your high-quality electroplating chemistry needs.
