 Nickel MPS-300 Liquid

1. Process Information
• Nickel MPS 300 Liquid has been developed to create a functional nickel layer after bright nickel prior
chromium plating to achieve highest corrosion protection.

• Nickel MPS 300 Liquid is applied on top of a bright nickel deposit at a thickness of 1.5 – 2.5 micron
which contains a controlled amount of non-conducting particles inducing a microporosity in the
subsequently plated chromium deposit, which fulfills OEM requirements.

• The chromium layer thickness affects corrosion protection and should be kept below 0.5 µm in
combination with hexavalent chrome or below 0.3 µm for Trichrome finishes.

• For continuous monitoring of the parameters it is imperative to use suitable tools to keep track of the
pore count such as Cu sulfate tests (Dubpernell or Fuhrmann test) or Fechner test and to measure the
necessary electrochemical potential difference between bright and microporous nickel deposit using the
STEP test method.

• In accordance with valid standards, the produced pore count must be ≥ (8,000 – 10,000) pores per
cm2, measured by e.g. the Dubpernell test.

2. Equipment

Tank PP, CPVC, PVC, rubber lined steel

Exhaust required
Heating / Cooling Quartz heaters, PTFE coils, Titanium coils (Ti must be anodic polarized)
Rectifier 12 V, max. 5% DC ripple
Ampere Hour Meter required
Mechanical Agitation Recommended, horizontal or vertical if possible with stroke adjustment
If horizontal : stroke length 100 mm, 20 – 25 double strokes per minute
If vertical : stroke length 60 mm, 25 – 30 double strokes per minute
Air Agitation Continuous or intermittent air agitation is required. A flow meter is
recommended to control the air flow.
Depending on the shape of the parts and plating conditions the air flow needs
to be adjusted. In some case intermittent air agitation with On / Off function
might improve the pore distribution.
Air agitation piping should be designed that the entire working tank is provided
with a consistent slight revolution, avoiding direct flow to the anodes. Settling of
the MPS 300 Pore Inducer in so called dead zones must be avoided. Air pipes
must be designed either as ring line or several strands which can be controlled
separately (air flow and on/off switch).
The air agitation should help to keep foam away from the cathode.
Air agitation should be turned on even during idle times e.g. over the weekend
if no maintenance action is scheduled.

Filtration Continuous filtration is not allowed, since particles, which induce microporosity
into the subsequent chromium layer are removed.
To remove particles a plate filter unit with slurry tank is suggested. Filter paper
is recommended as filter medium (e.g. 5 -10 micron rating) in combination with
filter aid (diatomaceous earth or cellulose). Powdered activated carbon (PAC)
on the filter should be used to improve the cleaning efficiency. Contact GPT for
further recommendations if required.
Bath circulation Bath circulation of 2 – 6 bath volumes per hour is required to keep the
electrolyte homogeneous and should not be turned off even during idle times
e.g. over weekends if no maintenance actions are scheduled.
Too weak bath circulation may result to a faster particle settlement.
Too strong bath circulation reduces the porosity.
Ensure movement of the plating solution at the bottom of the tank using a small
adjustable pump to allow for a slight circulation on the ground and the edges of
the tank.
Magnetic coupled impeller pumps which could breakdown the particles shall
not be used.
The usage of venturi tubes (eductors) is recommend. Contact GPT for further
recommendations if required.
The suction pipe could be set up vertically or horizontally along the tank at the
bottom of the tank below the anodes.
Anodes Electrolytic nickel as squares e.g. 1”x1” or R-rounds (Ni > 99.91 wt%, S <
0.0002 wt%) in baskets are recommended, available from major manufactures.
Sulphur activated (depolarized) nickel might be used but is not recommend.
Anode baskets made from Titanium
Anode hooks made from Monel or Titanium
Ratio Anode : Cathode 2:1–1:1
Anode bags Anode bags are not required if the right anode quality is used.
If bags are used they must be 50 – 80 mm above the plating solution level to
avoid particle accumulation in the anode bags.
Anode bags should be made from Dynel or polypropylene (threat count of 15 x
11 threats per cm) and need to be leached in 5 % (v/v) sulfuric acid, afterwards
flushed with hot running water prior to first use.

MARK® 90 M 904 3) 0.020 3) 0.022 3)
MPS 300 Liquid Additive 0.61 0.60
1) If Supreme Plus Brightener is not used, then add only 10% to maximum 50% the amount top brightener used at the previous
bright nickel plating solution.
2) Concentration of Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x) and Nickel Additive SA-1 depends on the used brightener. In case of Supreme Plus
Brightener the concentration of Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x) should be lower and Nickel Additive SA-1 should be slightly higher to its
concentration in the previous bright nickel plating solution.
3) Concentration depends on the desired potential difference to the bright nickel and on the brightener concentration in the
Nickel MPS 300 process. If steel is used as base material another STEP adjuster could be used.

Make-Up Sequence
• Determine the volume for the plating tank and base all calculations on that.

• Dissolve Nickel sulfate, Nickel chloride and Boric acid in hot DI (deionized) water at 70 – 80 °C whi le
stirring well. Use a PP, CPVC or PVC tank for this operation. To dissolve approx. 36.5 kg of the
combined salts at least 50 l water are needed at 80 °C.

• Add 4 g/l powdered activated carbon (low sulfur, low iron; suitable activated carbon can be purchased
from Atotech). The activated carbon should be allowed to react for at least 60 minutes while stirring.

• Filter the solution into the working tank. Make sure that the temperature of the solution during filtration is
kept above 50 °C to prevent precipitation (
Boric Acid).

• Add the required amount of Carrier (i.e. Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x), Nickel Additive SA-1) and Brightener
(i.e. Supreme Plus Brightener).

• Add DI-water until the required working volume is reached and adjust temperature accordingly.

• Adjust the pH to 3.9 – 4.0 with 10 % (v/v) sulfuric acid while air agitation is switched on.

• Dummy plate with steel panels (degreased, descaled and/or nickel plated) at 1.5 – 2.5 A/dm2 for 2 Ah/l.

• Check electrolyte in a hull cell and re-adjust electrolyte if necessary (procedure is described as last item
below section “Application Guideline”)

Add particles : All following steps rule for make-up procedure and maintaining the pore count during
production. Add MPS 300 Liquid Additive always like described:

 Nickel MPS-300 Liquid

1. Mix the MPS 300 Liquid Additive thoroughly in its container, no particles should remain settled down at
the bottom. Use e.g. an electric drill (2000 rpm) + stirrer “PR 32” (like a paint stirrer) ∅ 60 – 100 mm, 400
mm length, for 10 min until all powders in the containers bottom are completely dispersed.
Note: The additive DOES NOT dissolve, the objective is a complete dispersion!
2. Add max. 1.5 liter MPS 300 Liquid Additive to 6 liter MPS 300 Liquid electrolyte while stirring for another
10 minutes. Scale up same proportion based on the tank size and available make-up tank.
3. Add the dispersion immediately to the Nickel MPS 300 Liquid plating solution while strong air agitation is
on.
4. Follow this procedure until the required amount of MPS 300 Liquid Additive has been added to the
working tank.

• Check potential difference Bright nickel vs. Nickel MPS 300 liquid by STEP test and adjust to required
potential with MARK® 90 M 904 or perform dummy plating if potential difference is too high for any
reason.

• Air agitation and solution circulation should be switched on at all times to prevent settling.

The pH needs to be checked every 2 hr. and maintained within
the given range. Whenever the pH is checked or adjusted with
10 % (v/v) sulfuric acid the air agitation should be increased to
have a homogeneous solution.

Drying Drying
1) A low leveling brightener system like Supreme Plus is recommended; if satin nickel is used, a triple cascade rinse is
required prior MPS
2) Condition parts 5 – 10 seconds without current (current delay time) in Nickel MPS 300 plating solution
3) Room temperature, first rinse after MPS should have filtration, do not use DI water
4) Electrolytic e.g. Activator CA or by immersion
5) Average layer thickness should be kept below 0.5 µm to prevent bridging effect over micro pores
6) Hydrochloric or sulfuric acid pre-dip at 2 - 5%-Vol., contact GPT for further recommendation if required
7) Average layer thickness should be kept below 0.3 µm to achieve good corrosion test results

A too long transfer time before MPS-300 Liquid could cause drying of nickel plating solution and adhesion
problems. Drag-in from the bright nickel into the Nickel MPS 300 Liquid is essential to maintain the organic
additives (e.g. Nickel Additive SA-1, Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x), Supreme Plus Brightener) but also yields a
build-up of wetting agent. First rinse after Nickel MPS 300 Liquid electrolyte should be filtered to avoid
roughness or milky patches, more important for metal plating operations.

When plating Satilume Plus or Velours Nickel the plated parts need to be rinsed before entering Nickel
MPS 300 Liquid to avoid a lack of performance. Moreover, the concentration of Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x),
Additive SA-1, and Supreme Plus Brightener need to be kept at a very low level, to avoid a reduction of
the satin effect due to a too bright MPS layer.

For some operations the most flexible way to overcome influences between bright and satin finishes is the
implementation of two independent Nickel MPS 300 Liquid tanks.

The pH is lowered with sulfuric acid (diluted to 10 % (v/v)) or – if there is a lack of chloride ions – with
hydrochloric acid (diluted 1 : 1). To raise pH use nickel carbonate as a slurry packed on a plate filter and let
recirculate until the desired range is reached. Evaporation losses must be replenished by adding distilled or
deionized water.

Capability of Mixing the Additives

Nickel Additive SA-1, Nickel Carrier A-5 2x and Supreme Plus Brightener can be mixed in any
proportions to each other. Single additive dosing is recommended if one of them is substantially out of range
for any reason.

6. Application Guidelines
The bath components should be analyzed regularly, to avoid high fluctuations in concentration. For the same
reason, it is recommended to run periodic Hull Cell tests.

Effect of Additives
Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x)
Is mainly responsible to provide high ductility and reduce internal stress of the deposit. It is very slowly
consumed by electrolysis, slightly taken out by carbon filtration, and partly removed by carbon treatment.

Nickel Additive SA-1

Is responsible for deposit brightness and provides excellent chromability. It diminishes the tendency of
liberated hydrogen to form pits. Too low Nickel Additive SA-1 concentration may result in reduced luster. It
is mainly lost by electrolysis. Amounts of activated carbon (2.4 – 6.0 g/l) will not substantially reduce the
concentration of Nickel Additive SA-1.

Supreme Plus Brightener

Is responsible to maintain a haze free nickel layer in conjunction with Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x) and Nickel
Additive SA-1 resulting in bright deposits on top of bright nickel and giving excellent chromability. It
maintains the brightness in the Nickel MPS 300 and should be not higher than 20% of its concentration used
in the prior bright nickel process.
Lack of Supreme Plus Brightener will cause “milky“ or “bluish“ layers after chromium plating. Control plating
performance by Hull Cell test and adjust accordingly. Auto-dosing based on Ah throughput is normally not
necessary.
Excess of Supreme Plus Brightener reduces the potential of the deposited Nickel MPS 300 layer, therefore
the STEP between bright nickel and Nickel MPS 300 must be increased by adding MARK® 90 M 904.

Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x), Nickel Additive SA-1, Supreme Plus Brightener
If no rinse is between bright nickel and Nickel MPS 300 the drag-in from the bright nickel is normally
sufficient to maintain the concentration of additives in Nickel MPS 300 plating solution. Dosing of these
bright nickel additives on Ah-basis is only needed if the parts are rinsed before entering the Nickel MPS 300
plating solution. The replenishment rate of the additives may be affected by the usage of auxiliary anodes
and the purification need of the plating solution may be higher.

MPS 300 Liquid Additive

Contains the inert particles that are co-deposited in the Nickel MPS 300 Liquid. The co-deposited particles
induce the microporosity into the subsequently plated chromium deposits for a higher corrosion protection.
The desired porosity is maintained with MPS 300 Liquid Additive. Losses of MPS 300 Liquid Additive in
the electrolyte are mainly caused through drag-out, settlement of the particles onto the bottom of the tank
and co-deposition.

MARK® 90 M 904
Is used to adjust the electrochemical potential difference between bright nickel and Nickel MPS 300 at
Make-Up and during operation.
Addition of 0.1 ml/l will increase the potential difference by approximately 10 mV. Maximum addition at a time
must not be higher than 0.1 ml/l MARK® 90 M 904.

GMF Released by: GPT DECO/POP atotech.com

Page: 8
 Nickel MPS-300 Liquid

Increased temperature (> 55 °C), drag-in of organic contamination, more break-down products or too
vigorous air agitation increase consumption of MARK® 90 M 904.
An excess of MARK® 90 M 904 creates chromability problems, therefore well controlled and continuous
dosing is recommended.

Filtration and Carbon Treatment

Weekly Filtration
As Nickel MPS 300 cannot be continuously filtered, the electrolyte needs to be filtered weekly to remove old
particles and contaminations like anode sludge (e.g. in a closed circuit for at least 2 h until all particles are
removed).
To remove old particles a plate filter unit with slurry tank is recommend. Recommend filter medium is filter
paper (e.g. 5 - 10 micron rating) in combination with filter aid (diatomaceous earth or cellulose). 1 – 2 g/l
powdered activated carbon packed on the filter should be used to remove wetting agent that was dragged-in
from the bright nickel plating solution.
After filtration the initial make-up concentration of MPS 300 Liquid needs to be added like described in the
section “Make-Up sequence” (Add particles) and follow up strictly every time if particles must be added.

Monthly Treatment
The electrolyte should be treated at least monthly with 3 – 10 g/l powdered activated carbon and 1 – 6 ml/l
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 min. 30%-Vol.) to remove wetting agent and excessive brightener. Drag-in of
wetting agent has a reducing effect on the pore count.
If the surface tension is below 45 mN/m (dynes/cm), the electrolyte should be treated with powdered active
carbon to remove wetting agent.
Excess of MPS 300 Pore Inducer can lead to agglomeration of the particles which requires subsequent
cleaning of the plating solution.

Cleaning should be carried out as follows:

• Pack filter with powdered activated carbon (PAC)
• Transfer the solution to the treatment tank by pumping it through the packed filter. This is done to
remove part of the wetting agent that was dragged-in from the bright nickel plating solution.
• Allow the solution to cool to 38 – 43 °C and adjus t pH to 3.5.
• Slowly add with agitation the required amount of hydrogen peroxide (30 %). Depending on the severity
of the treatment, this quantity will vary from 1 – 6 ml/l H2O2 for Nickel MPS 300 Liquid plating solution.
• Agitate and maintain temperature at 38 – 43 °C for at least 2 hours.
• Raise temperature to 70 °C and maintain temperatur e for at least 2 h to remove excess peroxide.
• Add 3 – 10 g/l powdered activated carbon and agitate for 2 – 4 h with a temperature at 65 – 70 °C.
• Allow solution to settle, meanwhile clean plating tank, maintain anodes and clean anode bags if used.
Filter solution into the thoroughly cleaned working tank. No activated carbon must remain in the plating
solution!
DI-water is added until the required working volume is reached.
Adjust temperature accordingly.
• Adjust pH to 3.9 – 4.0 with 10 % (v/v) sulfuric acid while strong air agitation is switched on.
• Addition of the required amount of Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x) and Nickel Additive SA-1 and Brightener
(e.g. Supreme Plus Brightener) needs to be determined by analysis and / or Hull cell test.
• Add the make-up concentration of MPS 300 Liquid (with air agitation).
• Establish pore count with the Dubpernell Test and adjust, if necessary, with MPS 300 Liquid Additive
• Measure the electrochemical potential difference between bright nickel and Nickel MPS 300 Liquid by
the STEP test method and adjust it using MARK® 90 M 904 if required.

Pore Count
In accordance with valid standards the produced pore count must be ≥ (8,000 – 10,000) pores per cm2,
measured by Dubpernell test, Fuhrmann test or Fechner test.

Pore count measurements for process control should always be carried out at the same/ similar and
specified measuring area.

The pore count should be checked at least once per 8 hour shift.
To increase the pore count, particles need to be added based on a procedure described below “3) Make Up
Sequence” mentioned as “Add particles”.

Electrochemical Potential Bright Nickel vs. MPS Ni

Required Electrochemical Potential (EP) difference for functional Nickel MPS 300 layer depends on which
chromium deposit is applied afterwards.

Hexavalent Chromium: should be +20 to +45 mV vs. the bright nickel layer
Trivalent Chromium: should be +70 to +100 mV vs. the bright nickel layer

MARK® 90 M 904 is used to adjust the EP at Make-Up and during operation. The EP is controlled by the
STEP test method.

The correct pore count together with an adjusted electrochemical potential in range and optimum thickness
are the main contributors to achieve excellent results in corrosion testing.

Conditions resulting in low pore count

1) Low concentration of MPS 300 Liquid
2) Insufficient pre-dispersion of MPS 300 Liquid Additive or MPS 300 Liquid electrolyte was not used for
mixing.
3) Low thickness of Nickel MPS 300 Liquid deposit (< 1.5 µm), current density too low (< 2.0 A/dm2) or
plating time too short (< 2 min.)
4) Low pH (< 3.6) of the Nickel MPS 300 Liquid plating solution (pH > 4.4 could cause chromability
problems)
5) Bridging over of the pores caused by a too high chromium layer (> 0.5 µm).
6) Uneven or too strong air agitation
7) Tank agitation is too weak so that particles settle in poorly agitated areas of the tank and are therefore
ineffective.
8) Solution contamination (e.g. wetting agent).
9) Foam on surface.
10) MPS 300 electrolyte is contaminated with iron (> 40 mg/l)
11) Improper test method or insuffient / non trained operator

Conditions resulting in milky or matt deposit

1. Excess of MPS 300 Liquid Additive
2. Lack of Carrier Nickel Carrier A-5 (2x)
3. Lack of Nickel Additive SA-1
4. Lack of top brightener
5. Low pH
6. Foam near cathode
7. Poor pre-dispersion of MPS 300 liquid

Hull Cell Testing

Before running a Hull cell all particles needs to filter out from the Nickel MPS 300 electrolyte.

• Hull Cell (267 ml cell) testing is carried out at 52 – 55 °C with moderate air agitation.
• Cell Current : 2 Ampere
• Time : 3 min or use the same time like in the working tank operation
• Cathode panel : polished, degreased and pickled brass or copper panel

A Hull Cell panel should show a uniform non-bright to semi-bright appearance; haze free, no milky patches
nor present other failures. A “fast” ductility test can be done bending the panel at HCD area.
