The invention provides an auxiliary brightening agent for potassium chloride galvanizing. The auxiliary brightening agent is combined with a main brightening agent and a carrier brightening agent for application, and is characterized in that the formula of the auxiliary brightening agent comprises natural gum, wherein the natural gum is crushed into powder, the powder is dissolved in hot water, impurities are filtered from the powder through a filter, and the powder is added into the auxiliary brightening agent for uniform stirring. According to the auxiliary brightening agent, the cathodic polarization of a high-current density area can be improved, the dispersion capability of a plating solution can be improved, and plated layer crystals are delicate and bright; the plating solution is high in covering power, and a plated layer is clear, smooth and high in deposition speed, the binding force of the plated layer can meet requirements, high current efficiency is ensured, and a plated part is prevented from being scorched and blackened; the auxiliary brightening agent is easy to prepare, stable, low in cost, pollution-free and environmentally friendly.
