Hi, Romel. Usually these brighteners are purchased from plating process suppliers and their exact chemical composition is a trade secret. But you can find good chemical makeup information is most of the "must-have" plating textbooks like the Electroplating Engineering Handbook ⇦ this on eBay, AbeBooks, or Amazon [affil link] , and letter 983 suggests that you do not need brighteners for this standard bath.

We assume that you are an experienced electroplater and well trained in the extreme dangers of cyanide based plating solutions. Good luck.

Regards,
