Abstract
Abstract A brightening composition and a process for electrodepositing of zinc is described herein. The brightening composition is the reaction product of an aromatic aldehyde and an amine of the formula H2NR wherein R is a saturated aliphatic hydroxyl radical having from one to four carbon atoms. In particular, bright deposits are achieved when an amide or substituted amide is intermixed with the reaction product of the aromatic aldehyde and the amine.
