Cyanide Copper

Cyanide copper solutions are used for plating on a wide range of substrates. Steels, zinc alloys, aluminium alloys, copper alloys, magnesium alloys and nickel alloys cling well to copper from cyanide-based solutions. The deposits are exceptionally bright and give good corrosion protection. The process provides good metal distribution. The copper plate produced by cyanide plating solutions protect acid-sensitive base metals from attack by subsequent acidic plating solutions.

KM CU 80 BRIGHT CYANIDE COPPER PLATING PROCESS

Physical Properties: 
KM CU 80 CARRIER: Liquid
KM CU 80 BRIGHTENER: Liquid

Description

KM CU 80 bight cyanide copper plating process produces smooth and bright deposits. The deposits are exceptionally bright and give good corrosion protection. The process provides good metal distribution and permits to operate at higher current density.

The KM CU 80 deposit does not require activation in the processing cycle between copper and subsequent nickel plating operations. The following benefits can be obtained from the use of the KM CU 80 process.

    • A fully bright deposit over a wide current density range
    • Higher current densities
    • Good tolerance to impurities
    • Good anode corrosion
    • Easy to control
    • No activation required prior to nickel plating
