Haviland formulates, blends and packages a complete line of surface finishing chemistry. Products include cleaners and chromates for anodizing and zincating. Haviland’s Sapphire Elite acid copper process features a low-stress deposit which is said to be ideal for heavy buff. The HP Radiance AZ is an acid-zinc process that is said to look chrome plated. HP Optima is the family of semibrite nickel processes that the company says offers exceptional leveling without formaldehyde or coumarin.
