In acid Sn(II)-containing electrolytes for staining anodically produced oxide layers on aluminium or aluminium alloys or for electroplating, the Sn(II) becomes oxidised. Adding substances to the electrolyte, so called stabilisers, may prevent the oxidation to a greater or lesser degree, i.e. Sn(II) can be stabilised to a greater or lesser degree. The effectiveness of the stabiliser furthermore governs the quality of the deposits or the coloration of the anodised layer. The quality of the surface treatment is known to deteriorate in the presence of Sn(IV) in substantial amounts alongside Sn(II) as a consequence of inadequate stabilisation of the Sn(II). An acid Sn(II)-containing electrolyte with a soluble diphenylamine or substituted diphenylamine derivative added stabilises the Sn(II) and yields faultless colorations. |
