Melbright NI-2226
Melbright 2226 is neutral type electrolytic nickel plating solution using nickel sulfamate.
◆ Features
1. Few attacks to ceramics or low-melting glass because it can be used at neutral pH range.
2. Excellent adhesion to substrate due to low-compression stress.
3. Control outgrowth at nickel plating.
4. Operating solution is analyzable.

The dissolving amount of Ceramics
Varistors and LTCCs were immersed in three different baths: nickel sulfamate, citric acid, and Melbrite NI-2226, for 5 hours at 45°C. The weight loss was lowest when immersed in NI-2226 and highest in the citric acid bath.
pH buffering
Melbright 2226 have a comparable pH buffering effect as nickel sulfamate bath.
Wastewater treatment
In Melbright NI-2260, the concentration of nickel is very low after wastewater treatment. It is same level as the case of sulfamate nickel bath. While a citric bath is difficult to treat wastewater.
