Solving Common Process Challenges in Electroplating Production: Electroplating Additive Selection and Compatibility Are the Key Breakthroughs
In actual mass electroplating production, common process pain points frequently encountered by factories include blistering and peeling of coatings, pits and pinholes, high brittleness of deposits, unsatisfactory salt spray test results, as well as discoloration and hazing of plated layers. There are various causes for such defects. Apart from production line equipment and workpiece base materials, improper selection of electroplating additives and unbalanced compatibility between chemicals stand out as core contributing factors.

In mass production, for example, if pre-treatment chemicals fail to fully remove contaminants, subsequent plating will suffer poor adhesion regardless of how good the brightener performance is. An imbalanced brightener ratio leads to high deposit brittleness and uneven brightness. When the post-treatment sealer is incompatible with the plating system, the salt spray test will fail, and workpieces will oxidize and discolor after short-term storage. Plastic electroplating and PCB electronic plating are even more sensitive to impurities — minor fluctuations in the bath solution can cause batch-wide defects.
Drawing on extensive on-site production cases, YIHE Technology provides corresponding additive solutions for various process pain points. We optimize pre-treatment cleaning systems to address blistering and pinhole issues; match suitable metal and alloy brighteners for appearance defects; and improve post-treatment protective products for anti-corrosion requirements. We also provide chemical compatibility recommendations to help enterprises reduce the risk of batch defects.
Founded in 1999, YIHE Technology supplies a wide range of imported and domestic new electroplating materials, including pre-treatment, post-treatment agents, various metal brighteners, alloy electroplating chemicals, plastic electroplating solutions, PCB and electronic component & LED electroplating raw materials. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as the complete industrial chain resources in the Greater Bay Area, we have accumulated two decades of industry expertise.
