5531-R is a bright nickel process developed to produce brilliant, mirror bright and highly levelled deposits with excellent mechanical properties. The solution is easy to maintain, being quite tolerant to metallic impurities. The process is best operated with continuous filtration through activated carbon. This will ensure consistent production standards and eliminate the necessity for bath purification treatments with the attendant, loss of time and materials. The standard watt’s type bath composition is satisfactory. For best results the solution should be air agitated by passing clean filtered air. The two addition agents are Nickel Additive 222 and Nickel Brightener 333, both of which are liquid. It is easy to convert other bright nickel processes to Super Bright Nickel.
