Influence of copper impurities on plating quality when using decorative chrome additives

When using decorative chrome additives, the stability and purity of the plating solution components play a crucial role in the quality of the plated layer. Among them, copper impurity, as one of the common metal impurities in the plating solution, its influence on the quality of the plating layer should not be neglected.

Copper impurities exist in chrome plating solutions mainly in the form of copper ions. When the content of copper ions in the plating solution is too high, the covering ability of the plating solution will be significantly reduced. Excessive impurity ions in the plating solution will affect the quality of the chrome plating layer. Specifically, the chrome deposition rate in the plating process is reduced, the tank voltage is increased, and the energy consumption is also increased. More seriously, the corrosion resistance of the plated layer will be significantly reduced, thus affecting the service life and appearance quality of the product.

In order to effectively solve the problem of copper impurities in the plating solution, it is especially important to use good quality decorative chrome additives. Bigely Technology's decorative chrome additive Cr-8 performs well in this regard. The additive has good dispersing and covering ability and high tolerance to impurities, which can reduce the negative impact of copper impurities in the plating solution on the quality of the plated layer. At the same time, Cr-8 can also improve the plating efficiency of the bath and enhance the overall quality of the plated layer.
