PPS CAS# 15471-17-7

Excellent Thermal and Chemical Stability: PPS maintains stable performance under high temperatures and harsh chemical environments, ensuring reliable use in demanding plating processes.

High Mechanical Strength: It offers strong mechanical properties, contributing to the durability and integrity of the resulting nickel plating layer.

High Purity and Long Service Life: As a brightener, PPS introduces no harmful impurities or salts into the plating bath, extending electrolyte life and maintaining consistent performance.

Superior Brightening and Leveling Performance: When used with saccharin and other additives, PPS produces a highly bright, smooth, and stretchable nickel coating, suitable even for non-flowing electrolytes.

Product Description

PPS has good thermal and chemical stability, as well as excellent mechanical strength, but its low molecular weight may cause disproportionation and cross-linking.

It is used as a brightener and leveling agent in nickel plating. With high purity and long service life, it helps produce bright, smooth, and flexible nickel coatings, often used with saccharin, acetylene compounds, and wetting agents.
