Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved process for the production of nickel-plated moldings by electrodeposition of nickel from aqueous acid baths which contain, as essential components, one or more nickel salts, one or more inorganic acids and at least two brighteners.
- the invention further relates to a gloss agent mixture that can be used for this purpose.
- Such brighteners which are generally divided into primary brighteners (“brighteners”) and secondary brighteners (“brighteners”), are usually used as a combination of several of these agents in order to increase the effect.
- Sulfonimides e.g. Benzoic acid sulfi id sulfonamides
- Benzenesulfonic acids e.g. Mono-, di- and tribenzenesulfonic acid
- naphthalenesulfonic acids e.g. Mono-, di- and trinaphthalenesulfonic acid
- Alkylsulfonic acids sulfinic acid arylsulfone sulfonates aliphatic compounds with ethylene and / or acetylene compounds, e.g. Butynediol mono- and polynuclear nitrogen-containing heterocycles, which can also contain further heteroatoms such as sulfur or selenium
- Saccharin. DE-B 11 91 652 (2) describes mono- or polynuclear heterocyclic nitrogen bases of the aromatic type in quaternized form, such as pyridinium salts, for example 2-pyridinium-l-sulfatoethane, as leveling agents, ie brighteners, for acidic galvanic nickel baths described. These agents are used together with conventional basic gloss agents such as benzene-m-disulfonic acid, diaryl disulfimides or sulfonamides.
- a disadvantage of the agents known from the prior art is, on the one hand, the generally relatively high use concentrations in the nickel electrolyte baths used, on the other hand, the gloss and the leveling that can be achieved with these agents are still in need of improvement.
- the object of the invention was therefore to remedy the shortcomings of the prior art described.
- N atom is part of a pyridine, quinoline or isoquinoline ring system which can additionally carry one or two C 1 -C 4 -alkyl substituents or halogen atoms,
- R 1 'R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen or -C ⁇ to C alkyl
- R 2 denotes hydrogen or methyl

- Z represents a nucleofugic leaving group, preferably chlorine or bromine, with a heterocycle of the general formula IV
- the reaction of components III and IV is advantageously carried out in an inert organic solvent such as toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, ligroin, cyclohexane, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate or methyl benzoate or in a mixture carried out from here.
- an inert organic solvent such as toluene, xylene, petroleum ether, ligroin, cyclohexane, acetone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethyl acetate or methyl benzoate or in a mixture carried out from here.
- the reaction can also be carried out in water or in a single-phase or two-phase mixture of water and one or more organic solvents.
- a customary phase transfer catalyst can be used. It is usually carried out
- Component B uses acetylenically unsaturated compounds II which carry at least one polar functional group, preferably in the ⁇ -position of the C 1 -C 4 -alkyl radicals.
- Unfunctionalized acetylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons are unsuitable mainly because of their low solubility in aqueous media and their high volatility.
- these can be alkoxylated by a C 2 -C alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide or a mixture of such alkylene oxides.
- the degree of alkoxylation is preferably 1 to 3, in particular 1.
- Sulfo group-containing compounds II can be in the form of the free acid or preferably in the form of their alkali metal, e.g. Sodium or potassium or ammonium salts can be used.
- component B uses acetylenically unsaturated compounds II in which the radicals R 4 and R 5 are identical or different and denote methyl or ethyl substituted by hydroxyl, sulfo or dimethyl- or diethylamino, hydroxyl groups having 1 up to 3 mol of a 0. 2 - to C 4 -alkylene oxide or a mixture of such alkylene oxides can be reacted and one of the radicals R 4 or R 5 can also be hydrogen, methyl or ethyl.
- examples of compounds II are:
- Ethoxylate, monoethoxylate, diethoxylate, propoxylate, monopropoxylate and dipropoxylate are to be understood here as meaning the reaction products with 1 mol of alkylene oxide per hydroxyl group in the compounds II.
- the mixture of the cyclic N-allyl or N-vinylammonium compounds I and the acetylenically unsaturated compounds II is preferably composed of 10 to 90% by weight, in particular 25 to 75% by weight of component A and 90 to 10% by weight .-%, in particular 75 to 25 wt .-% of component B.
- a mixture of 28 to 50% by weight of A and 72 to 50% by weight of B is very particularly preferred.
- a mixture of one or more cyclic N-allyl or N-vinylammonium compounds I is used as component A and at least three, in particular three to seven, acetylenically unsaturated compounds II as component B.
- mixtures of components A and B can additionally be used together with other customary brighteners, for example with saccharin, allylsulfonic acid or their alkali metal or ammonium salts, vinylsulfonic acid or their alkali metal or ammonium salts, bisbenzenesulfonylimide or commercially available brighteners based on a thio compound.
- other customary brighteners for example with saccharin, allylsulfonic acid or their alkali metal or ammonium salts, vinylsulfonic acid or their alkali metal or ammonium salts, bisbenzenesulfonylimide or commercially available brighteners based on a thio compound.
- the aqueous-acidic nickel electrolyte baths contain one or usually more nickel salts, for example nickel sulfate and nickel chloride, one or more inorganic acids, preferably boric acid and sulfuric acid, as a brightening agent, the mixture of components A and B alone or in combination with other usual - Chen gloss agents and, if appropriate, other conventional auxiliaries and additives in the concentrations customary for this, for example wetting agents and pore-preventing agents.
- nickel salts for example nickel sulfate and nickel chloride
- inorganic acids preferably boric acid and sulfuric acid
- the pH of the electrolyte baths is usually between 3 and 6, preferably between 4 and 5.
- a strong mineral acid preferably sulfuric acid, is expediently used to set this pH.
- the mixture of components A and B is present in the electrolyte baths in low concentrations, generally between 0.05 and 1.0 g / 1, preferably between 0.1 and 0.5 g / 1.
- concentrations of other customary brighteners are normally in the range from 0.1 to 10 g / 1, in particular 0.1 to 2.0 g / 1.
- the nickel electrolyte baths described above can be used to produce nickel coatings on molded parts made of steel, but also on molded parts made of other materials, for example brass, which have been pretreated as usual. This is usually done at temperatures of 30 to 80 ° C, preferably 40 to 60 ° C.
- the present invention furthermore relates to a mixture of brighteners for aqueous-acidic galvanic baths for the deposition of nickel, comprising a mixture of
- N atom is part of a pyridine, quinoline or isoquinoline ring system which can additionally carry one or two Ci to C alkyl substituents or halogen atoms,

- C 2 - to C 4 -alkylene oxide or a mixture of such alkylene oxides can be reacted and one of the radicals R 4 or R 5 can also be hydrogen or C 1 -C 4 -alkyl.
- the mixture of gloss agents according to the invention is distinguished by an extraordinarily high gloss formation. As a rule, it achieves a stronger shine and a better leveling than with the usual brighteners at a significantly lower dosage in the nickel electrolyte baths.
- the aqueous nickel electrolyte used had the following composition:
- the pH of the electrolyte was adjusted to 4.2 with sulfuric acid.
- Brass sheets were used, which were degreased cathodically in an alkaline electrolyte according to the usual methods before the coating with nickel.
- the nickel deposition was carried out in a 250 ml Hull cell at 55 ° C. and a current of 2A over a period of 10 minutes. The sheets were then rinsed with water and dried with compressed air.
- Comparative mixtures A and B are known from reference (3).
