Electro nickel plating takes on a glossy finish when organic additives are introduced to an electric nickel bath.
The leveling action of the additive provides a highly glossy plating film, which is also useful as a base plating.

Features
Features 1Shiny appearance
By adding a brightener called a leveler, the smoothness of the surface is improved, and a beautiful glossy plating film can be obtained.
Generally, a primary brightener is used to regulate stress and a secondary brightener is used to produce luster.
Effective as base plating
Taking advantage of its glossiness and the other nickel plating characteristics, it is used as a base for various plating applications.
It is a versatile plating used for various purposes such as glossiness in decorative chrome plating, improvement of corrosion resistance in gold plating, and prevention of metal diffusion in tin plating.
