Bright Nickel Electroplating Solution, Sheltonic 62 Low Consumption and Resistant under Harsh Conditions
Schlötter introduced the bright nickel plating process to the industrial world for the first time in 1932. Now, after extensive research, the SLOTONIK60 process is introduced with unique characteristics, such as high filling power and brightness, while maintaining a low consumption rate of additives.
– Nickel Super Bright SLOTONIK60
The coating resulting from this process is completely bright and smooth, with a solution possessing high throwing power and excellent covering ability (even in thin coatings). Other features include excellent chrome receptivity and suitability for use in environments with air turbulence or mechanical agitation (bath or barrel). It is very easy to use and suitable for plating various types of parts.
– Nickel Satin Matte and Semi-Matte SLOTONIK S 210
This process creates fine-grained nickel coatings with a satin matte or semi-matte finish that are completely uniform and have a beautiful and attractive appearance. It requires a tank and special equipment for execution and can only be used in a hanging configuration.
– Nickel Sulfamate HS
For creating thick and hard nickel coatings and for use in the electroforming process, pure German nickel sulfamate with added fine-grain and surface-wetting agents (wetting agent) is ready for delivery.
– Semi-Bright Nickel HG 1630 for Double Nickel Plating
The semi-bright nickel plating process, Semi-Bright Nickel HG 1630, is used primarily for double nickel plating applications, providing a columnar structure without sulfur. In this process, nickel deposits uniformly with very high flexibility, and it is easy to employ and maintain the bath. The decomposition products of additives do not pose problems, eliminating the need for frequent carbon treatment.
The corrosion resistance of the coating is very high. Semi-Bright Nickel HG 1630 is recommended especially for nickel plating in barrel plating with mechanical or air agitation. After semi-bright nickel plating, which features low sulfur content (maximum 0.005%) and a dense columnar structure, a high sulfur nickel coating, HS, is directly applied.
High Sulfur Triple-Layer Nickel Additive
To enhance the corrosion resistance of nickel coatings, the use of triplex coatings has become more common than double nickel coatings. In this process, a thin layer of nickel with a relatively high and controlled sulfur content is applied. This creates a galvanic potential difference between the nickel layers, leading to sacrificial protection and reduced corrosion rates. Iran Board Electronic Company offers a special additive for this process.
– Macroporous and Macrocracked Nickel Plating Process
For multilayer nickel plating systems defined for automotive parts under new standards, Iran Board Electronic Company offers macroporous and macrocracked nickel additives. The macroporous nickel process can create over 10,000 pores per square meter with a bright finish, while the macrocracked nickel process can create 300-600 cracks per square centimeter. Both processes are used to enhance the corrosion resistance of nickel-chrome coatings and serve as an underlayer for chrome plating.
