Physical Properties of Cadmium Plating Solutions

I'm having trouble locating what I need. I would like to know physical properties(density, thermal conductivity, viscosity and specific heat) (1atm, 131 F) of a cadmium plating solution. Percentage is not a factor, I just need some base number to size our product and put out a quote till the customer provides the actual values.

Hi, Danielle. Save yourself the effort and treat the solution as water; it will be quite close. This has been done a million times for final design, so it's certainly good enough for preliminary design :-)
