Ed. note: Can you add a few more sentences to flesh out your inquiry? We don't understand it.

I want to know what kind of activator shall I choose to help seal on the nickel plating surface.

Please describe your situation. What do you mean by activator? Did you mean activate? What is the substrate and describe the type of plating bath and deposit. For what purpose do you want to seal? Reduce porosity, reduce thickness, time and cost? Please remember we are not there to see what you are doing.

A chromic acid dip followed by a wax coating will help seal Nickel well, if you mean you want better corrosion resistance.
