Q. Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone could have this info. and possibly if they are able to release it without getting in trouble. What I am looking for is the brightener that is used in palladium -nickel plating solution that could give the optimum brightness, the solution will be prepared with Pd(NH3)4Cl2, ammonium chloride, nickel chloride, and ammonium to balance the pH as required. The question again is what would be best additive to obtain the optimum brightness in this type of solution; please if you have an answer write to me. Many thanks in advance. pierre...
