In the electroplating industry, the brightness of nickel plating layer is one of the important indexes to measure the quality of plating layer. However, in practice, we often encounter the problem of poor brightness of the plated layer, which not only affects the aesthetics of the plated layer, but also may reduce its corrosion resistance and functionality. As a R&D and sales engineer of nickel plating brightener, I will analyze this phenomenon and discuss how to solve this problem in this issue.

First of all, there are various reasons for the poor brightness of the plated layer, among which the concentration of the brightener and the quality of use are the key factors. Too low a concentration of brightener does not allow for the formation of a uniform and fine crystal structure throughout the coating, resulting in an insufficiently bright coating, while too high a concentration may result in over-embedding, which damages the luster of the coating.

In addition, the quality of nickel plating brightener also directly affects the brightness of the plated layer, and poor quality or expired brightener may lead to defects in the plated layer. Therefore, it is important to choose reliable quality and appropriate concentration of nickel brightener.

Bigely nickel plating brightener Ni-301 is characterized by high speed and good leveling, which can obtain bright and full-bright plating layer in a short time. At the same time, it has fewer organic decomposition products, high impurity tolerance, and the bath is not easy to be aged, which ensures the long term stability and brightness of the plated layer. According to the feedback of actual application, the plating layer using Ni-301 brightener not only has high brightness, but also has good softness and chromium overlay performance.
