In the production of bright nickel plating, how can one strike a balance between the brightness of the coating and its leveling performance? Choosing the right nickel plating brightener is an important step among them.
The most significant application of nickel in the electroplating industry is as a protective and decorative coating, serving as a bright base layer beneath a very thin chromium plating layer, to provide a highly bright and corrosion-resistant decorative surface for items such as steel, brass, zinc die-castings, and metallized plastics.
Bright nickel can be obtained by polishing ordinary nickel, but it is time-consuming, laborious and polluting. It is also not conducive to the continuous and automated electroplating operation. Therefore, many electroplating plants at home and abroad directly obtain bright nickel coatings in the plating solution with nickel brightener added.
In addition to the function of refining grains, a good nickel plating brightener must also have a good leveling effect, so as to fill in the micro-uneven surfaces such as scratches on the material. However, often a single brightener is difficult to meet the high requirements in both aspects. Therefore, in addition to adding brighteners, sometimes a special leveling agent with special leveling ability is also added.
