Request to get information regarding nickel coating solution

Respected Sir / Madam,
I want to know which additives have been used in coating solution of nickel?
I am giving here an example what I want to do.
I want to prepare a film of additives on copper. after that dipped in to the nickel coating solution at 100-160 degC. when I just take out the copper rod and pour cold water, the nickel coating should be free from copper rod and thus I want to prepare a film.
So what type of additives I have to use?

I am not personally familiar with such a process, Ritesh. Are you sure there is such a process, or are you just describing a "wish list"? It would be possible to electroform nickel onto this copper mandrel, in which case the passivation solution you would need to apply to the copper to allow the nickel to separate from the copper would be sodium dichromate or possibly egg albumin.
