Description |
| Lustra-Ni® 402 | Semi Bright Nickel | An excellent leveling semi bright nickel brightener system used under a bright nickel deposit to double the corrosion resistance. Has superior low current density coverage. Extreme ductility makes it ideal for plating on plastics. Has excellent tolerance for metallic impurities such as iron, zinc and copper. |
| Lustra-Ni® 430 | Semi Bright Nickel | A single component semi bright nickel brightener system offering improved brightness and leveling over a higher current density range. |
| Lustra-Ni® 270 | Bright Nickel "Index or SAS System" | A very bright and highly leveled single component nickel brightener system that is well suited for applications with strict visual requirements. |
| Lustra-Ni® 242 | Bright Nickel "Index or SAS System" | Industry proven nickel brightener system offers improved brightness and leveling with excellent engineering properties. Exhibits good ductility. The working solution can be easily purified without requiring costly decants. |
| Lustra-Ni® 234S | Bright Nickel "Index or SAS System" | This uniquely balanced nickel brightener system offers optimum performance in barrel plating applications. A single component system with good leveling. |
| Dymaxion 285 | Bright Nickel "Pyridine System" | The superior leveling obtained from this nickel brightener system allows for ultra-bright deposits with minimal plating thickness. |
| Lustra-Ni® 204FE | Nickel Iron Alloy | A visually pleasing, extremely ductile, bright nickel-iron deposit containing 15-35% iron. Can be used as an alternative to bright nickel plating. Offers excellent chromium receptivity. |
| Lustra-Ni® 332PN | Particle Nickel | Use this process over bi-layer or tri-layer nickel deposits. Co-deposits inert nickel wafers that substantially improve corrosion resistance to meet the stringent requirements of exterior applications. |
| Lustra-Ni® 315 | High Sulfur Nickel Strike | Produces a sacrificial corrosion layer between the bright and semi bright nickel layers. Significantly enhances corrosion resistance of the base metal. |
