A. If you are using a pre-packaged Watts nickel plating bath, your chemical vendor can supply you with the required MSDS. If you are formulating your own plating bath then you should be able to obtain a MSDS for each of the components. Typically, a Watts plating bath contains: 

 

  • Boric acid
  • Nickel sulfate
  • Nickel chloride
  • Water

 

Other components are present if you are using a bright nickel bath. Typically, these additives are proprietary and your chemical vendor can supply the appropriate MSDS.

I also did a quick Google search using the terms “MSDS” and Watts “nickel bath” and come up with a number of links.

    Masking is employed in most any metal finishing operation where only a specifically defined area of the surface of a part must be exposed to a process. Conversely, masking may be employed on a surface where treatment is either not required or must be avoided. This article covers the many aspects of masking for metal finishing, including applications, methods and the various types of masking employed.
