🏭 Industrial Usage & Process Guidance
Primarily utilized in Watts nickel electroplating baths to maintain pH stability at the cathode boundary layer. It prevents the local pH from rising too high, which would cause rough, brittle, and burned nickel deposits. Also functions as a glass forming agent and chemical flux in borosilicate glass manufacturing.
