Want dark bright nickel finish to be whiter

+++

Our competitor sells bright nickel brightener with a whitish bright finish. Ours is mirror bright but more on the darker bright side.

Could anyone tell me what particular component would give our brightener that whitish finish.

Thanks.

Hi, Simon. I don't recall seeing the answer to your question in print, but perhaps a close study of the literature, including patents and expired patents, would give you some answers.

Things may be different in the Philippines than in the U.S., but here it is considered improper to ask people to reveal the trade secrets of your competitors :-)

Good luck with your research.
