Metal Surface Treatment & Electroplating Industry

Plating-grade main salts and supporting chemicals with batch-to-batch metal content consistency.

Process Nodes

Key stages of the industry process and the chemicals involved

01

Pre-treatment

Caustic soda and sodium carbonate form alkaline degreasing baths; with surfactants they remove oil and prepare adhesion for deposits.

Caustic Soda Flakes → Sodium Carbonate
02

Electro-deposition

Nickel sulphate and copper sulphate main salts are batch-tested for metal content with strict impurity limits, ensuring deposit leveling and color.

03

Post-treatment

Boric acid buffers bath pH; sodium gluconate complexes metal ions for stripping and cleaning; potassium nitrate serves passivation systems.

FAQ

How are nickel and cobalt contents controlled in nickel sulphate?
Main content Ni ≥ 22% (as Ni); cobalt, copper, iron and zinc are tested batch by batch with actual reports, and impurity limits can be tightened per customer internal standards.
How does plating-grade boric acid differ from agricultural grade?
Plating grade has stricter limits on sulphates, chlorides and heavy metals; we supply per plating industry standards with bath compatibility notes.
Can caustic soda be delivered by full truckload?
Yes, 20-ton full truck direct delivery with complete DG transport qualifications; same/next day across Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai-Anhui.
Is technical support available for bath problems?
We arrange technical consultants for remote or on-site bath analysis with Hull cell test suggestions and dosing plans.
