Potassium chloride zinc plating additive
It was the first to apply aldehyde sulfonation—a water‑soluble, carrier‑free technology—to chloride‑based zinc plating, overcoming the poor thermal stability of conventional aldehyde systems and the inadequate deep‑plating capability and excessive decomposition byproducts of benzalacetone‑based systems, achieving overall performance at an internationally leading level.
Its deep‑plating capability surpasses that of cyanide‑based zinc plating, making it particularly well suited for workpieces with deep holes or recessed areas; it is compatible with both rack plating and barrel plating.

Additives are stable, generating minimal decomposition products, ensuring long‑term clarity and transparency of the bath. The brightener concentration is high while consumption is low—only one‑quarter to one‑third of that required in traditional processes. It offers superior salt resistance, expands the high‑current density range, and is compatible with potassium, ammonium, and sodium salts. Tank changes are straightforward, with low foaming and low COD, meeting wastewater discharge standards. Moreover, it provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for automotive components, precision hardware, and other applications.
