Boric Acid H3BO3

Boric Acid H3BO3

The main function of boric acid H3BO3 is to inhibit the increase of PH value of the bath, so that the bath PH value remains relatively stable, and the coating can be uniform and bright. When boric acid content is insufficient, the range of cathode current density will be reduced, the current is not open, the coating is easy to burn, resulting in rough gray coating and loss of light. In order to stabilize PH value of bath, it is necessary to maintain proper boric acid content. But the boric acid content should not be too high, if the content is too high, the coating will blossom, so at the general temperature, more than 45g/L will crystallize and precipitate. So the appropriate boric acid content is 30-40g/L, winter to take 30g/L is appropriate, summer boric acid content can be increased to 35-40g/L.
