What is electroplating chemical?

Electroplating is the process of coating a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a material through electrolysis. Plating chemicals are metal salts, acids, alkalis, and additives used in the plating bath and surface preparation steps. Applicable technical standards: TCVN 4392:2015 — Electroplating: Requirements and Test Methods.
