Nickel stripping and wastewater recovery chemistry
Stripping chemistry for nickel plating, plus high-purity nickel recovery from wastewater.
Nickel sits in the middle of two value streams — coatings and wastewater. PolyGO addresses both: a fast, low-damage stripping chemistry for plated nickel, and a proprietary wastewater process that precipitates nickel out as a high-purity powder ready for resale or refining.
Products in this family
Efficient removal of nickel plating from a wide range of metallic surfaces using an electrolytic process — minimal substrate damage, no harsh chemical reagents required.
Proprietary process producing high-purity nickel in powder form from industrial waste streams.
Why operators choose it
- Improved nickel recovery efficiency
- Lower operational cost per kg recovered
- Environmentally responsible wastewater treatment
- Powder-form output ready for downstream sale
- • Nickel-plated steel and stainless components
- • Electroplating-line rinse water
- • Battery-precursor wastewater
- • Catalyst and chemical-plant effluent
Frequently asked
A high-purity nickel powder, ready for resale into refining or precursor manufacturing.
It complements it. The chemistry slots into the metals-removal stage and converts what is normally a disposal cost into a recovered-product revenue line.

Operators discharging nickel-bearing wastewater in Singapore need to meet PUB and NEA effluent limits. See our guide on meeting Singapore’s nickel discharge limits for a detailed overview of the discharge framework, treatment options and the economics of recovery versus disposal.
