Detailed Description

Detailed Product Introduction

Nickel barrel plating is widely used in modern manufacturing, especially for small components such as screws, fasteners, connectors, and precision hardware. Compared to rack plating, barrel plating requires additives that can deliver uniform bright deposits while minimizing burning, pitting, and uneven thickness.

The FH-808 Nickel Barrel Plating Brightener is engineered with advanced additives imported from international electroplating technology. Its formulation provides high throwing power, consistent brightness across large loads, and strong wear- and corrosion-resistance of the deposit.

By combining advanced chemical stability with cost-effective performance, FH-808 meets the needs of continuous production lines and mass finishing operations while complying with international plating standards.

Key Features

Brilliant Brightness – Produces highly reflective and bright nickel coatings.
Excellent Leveling Ability – Smooths surface imperfections and provides uniform coverage.
High Throwing Power – Ensures even plating on both inner and outer surfaces of small components.
Strong Adhesion – Prevents peeling and ensures a long-lasting nickel deposit.
Stable Bath Performance – Maintains effectiveness in large-scale continuous barrel operations.
Versatility – Suitable for a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous substrates.
Cost-Effective – Reduces additive consumption and prolongs bath life.
