Clear vs. Bright Zinc
Currently, we are doing product for customers which require Clear Zinc and Bright Zinc plating. Is there any differences between this 2 types of plating?

In my opinion there is no difference. Somewhere, somehow, someone will have a different opinion though. So you need to plate to specs, not opinions :-)

Mr Low
Bright zinc is a term used to describe a bright finish. Clear zinc is a term used to describe zinc which has been clear passivated and free from any interference shade such as bluish or greenish.
However as Ted has pointed out quite "clearly" go for specs and an agreement on finish with 2 sample sealed components held by client and plater respectively to determine what exactly is, and then, was , asked for.
