Application of Defoamer in Electroplating
Jun 29, 2023Electroplating is the process of coating a thin layer of other metals or alloys on certain metal surfaces. When it comes to electroplating, it is naturally associated with electroplating solution. It refers to a liquid that can expand the cathode current density range of metals, improve the appearance of coatings, and increase the stability of solution oxidation resistance.
Through the electroplating process, products with different metal glosses can be obtained, which are more popular in the market. Therefore, the electroplating process is very important. However, in the actual process application, the electroplating process will also produce foam, which requires the use of electroplating defoamer.
In production and application of electroplating, due to the excessive organic substances in the bath, too high concentration of pickling solution, too much impurities. And there is still an oxide film on the surface before entering the plating bath, the electroplating solution will produce a large number of foam.
Bad consequences of too much foam:
1. It will lead to increased costs.
2. Cleaning agent has Excessive loss.
3. It will affect the quality of electroplating.
4. It will affect the normal operation of the machine.
After systematic research and on-site testing, defoamer used in the electroplating solution is refined from a specially modified organic polymer, belonging to high stability products with excellent defoaming function, will not cause emulsion breaking, oil floating, oil bleaching, precipitation and other phenomena, and has no obvious impact on the production of subsequent processing.
