The electroless nickel plating process is favored by industry for its ability to uniformly plate nickel on the surface of a workpiece without the need for an applied current. However, electroless nickel plating layers are often deficient in corrosion resistance due to their relatively high porosity, especially in salt spray tests, which limits their application in some harsh environments. In order to improve the corrosion resistance and extend the service life of electroless nickel plating layers, platers often use nickel-plated aqueous sealers for post-treatment.
The active ingredients in Bigely aqueous nickel plating sealers infiltrate and fill the micropores of the plated layer, forming a virtually invisible protective film that effectively seals out environmental corrosive factors such as salt, oxygen and water vapor. Through this method, not only the physical barrier property of the coating is enhanced, but also the chemical inertness is improved to slow down the corrosion process, which significantly improves the salt spray test performance of the electroless nickel plating layer.
In practice, the workpiece of completed electroless nickel plating is immersed in aqueous sealer, and after a certain time of adsorption and reaction, it is removed and dried, that is to say, the sealing process is completed. This treatment not only improves the protective performance of the plating, but also has the advantages of easy operation and low cost.
In summary, Bigely aqueous nickel plating sealers have a positive impact on the development of electroless nickel plating and have enabled nickel plating to be used in a wider range of applications. After plating with the Bigely nickel plating process, if you want to take the corrosion resistance of the plated layer to the next level, you can use this nickel plating waterborne sealer.
