Direct Acid Copper Plating Process ; Steel Substrate Acid Copper Plating Solution Bright Copper Plating
Features
• It is cyanide free acid copper plating on steel and iron substrate, especially suitable for continuous plating.
• It can be the base layer, instead of semi-bright nickel or watt nickel or cyanide alkali copper plating.
• The copper plating layer thickness could be reached more than 200μm.
• It does not contain cyanide, so it is easy to treat the wastewater and has little pollution to the environment.
• The maintenance of the bath is simple and the service life is long.
• High speed copper plating, high current efficiency, and good deep plating ability, especially suitable for reel to reel large current high-speed copper plating.
