NI-88 — Reference Bath Conditions

These values are reproduced from Mengde's original NI-88 product information. They describe this particular additive system and are not a universal plating formulation. Nickel sulfate hexahydrate: 240–300 g/L; standard 270 g/L Nickel chloride hexahydrate: 45–75 g/L; standard 60 g/L Boric acid: 37–53 g/L; standard 45 g/L NI-88 make-up additive: 8–12 mL/L; standard 10 mL/L NI-88 replenisher: 0.5–1 mL/L; standard 0.6 mL/L Wetting agent: 1–2 mL/L; standard 1.0 mL/L Temperature: 49–60°C; standard 55°C pH: 3.5–5.0; standard 4.5 Current density: 2.2–10.8 A/dm²; standard 5 A/dm² Filtration: Continuous circulation NI-88 is a high-performance nickel brightener system. The source specifies continuous bath filtration and a typical operating temperature of 55°C and pH of 4.5. Make-up additive consumption is low and replenishment can be adjusted after several kAh of plating. Discuss your process with the technical team before changing production conditions.
