Allergic to nickel?
Nickel-free surface coating made by BECKER Solingen – also offered as a service to other industries for parts up to 20 cm in size.
We encounter nickel-plated surfaces everywhere in daily life. Door handles and furniture fittings; bathroom taps; kitchen utensils; decorative elements such as photo frames, lamps and living accessories; shaving utensils; parts of clothing such as buttons, zips, press studs and belt buckles; car parts such as interior applications, trim and door handles; jewellery; watches; tools; cosmetic instruments; office utensils… The list goes on! And it’s extremely problematic if you suffer from a nickel allergy.
We have the solution!
At BECKER Solingen, we’ve developed a surface coating that sets new standards in allergy prevention – Vitaloy®, the 100% nickel-free finish.
Of course, our range of ERBE Solingen products also includes a nickel-free series of personal-care tools with a Vitaloy® coating. You can find these products at the end of this post.

What makes the Vitaloy® nickel-free coating stand out?
Our nickel-free surface coating is more than just a finish – it’s a promise of allergy-safe, high-quality surfaces. This technology has many advantages:
- Allergen-free: nickel allergies are common and can cause unpleasant skin reactions. The Vitaloy® coating eliminates this risk and ensures that even people with sensitive skin can use everyday items safely.
- Durability: Vitaloy® coatings are exceptionally long-lasting and wear-resistant, helping products maintain their quality and appearance for years. With a hardness of around 600 HV and excellent coverage, a Vitaloy® finish meets the highest standards of quality and aesthetics.
- Scratch and break resistant: not only is the surface extremely durable, it is also highly resistant to breaking and scratches. Its excellent hardness and coverage mean coated products can even withstand severe distortion, remaining flawless even after intensive use – a quality confirmed through long-term lab testing using various material assays.
- Corrosion protection: Vitaloy® coatings provide reliable corrosion protection, extending the product lifespan and ensuring long-lasting functionality.
- Possible variations: matt or glossy finishes, which can also be combined with chrome or gold coatings, provide metal parts with reliable protection from tarnishing and corrosion – and are 100% nickel-free.
- Adherence to legal regulations: Vitaloy® surface coatings provide a durable, nickel-free solution that complies with the EU Nickel Directive 94/27/EC and Öko-Text Standard 100. (RoHS compliant)
- Coating service for parts up to 20 cm in size
