The correct use of a plating dewatering agent can have a positive impact on the plated layer after the plated product has been rinsed in water. In this article we will talk about what benefits can be achieved.
1. Enhance gloss: Dewatering agent helps to quickly remove the water droplets on the surface of the workpiece to avoid the formation of water spots, so as to maintain or improve the gloss of the plating layer.
2. Reduce defects: By speeding up the drying process, it can effectively reduce the possibility of surface defects such as stains and spots caused by uneven drying.
3. Prevent corrosion: Although the plating dehydrating agent itself is not an antirust agent, the rapid removal of water can reduce the opportunity for moisture to react with the plating layer, indirectly reducing the risk of corrosion.
4. Increase adhesion: If there is no residual moisture on the surface of the plated layer, the adhesion properties of subsequent coating treatments (e.g. painting or bonding) may be better.
5. Improve the appearance of quality: plated parts in the absence of water stains, rust spots in the case of a more beautiful appearance, which is particularly important for the visual need to meet the high quality standards of products.
6. Improve production efficiency: The efficient execution of the dewatering step can shorten the processing time of the workpiece and speed up the whole plating production process.
However, plating dewatering agent can also have some negative effects on the plated layer if not used properly:
1. Chemical reaction: If the chemical components in the electroplating dewatering agent react with the components of the plating solution, the quality of the plating layer may be impaired.
2. Residue: Incorrect use or excessive amount of dewatering agent may leave residue on the surface of the workpiece, which will affect the appearance and function of the plated layer.
3. Uneven drying: the dehydrating agent is not properly diluted or unevenly distributed, which may lead to uneven drying in some areas, thus affecting the overall quality of the plating layer.
To ensure that Bigely plating dewatering agent has a positive effect on the plating layer, it is necessary to follow the product instructions for use and proportion.
