Copper Plating FAQ
Q1 What is copper plating?
Copper plating is the process of coating of a substance with copper by an electrolytic process, to minimize corrosion. There are three basic types of processes: Acid, Alkaline Non-Cyanide, and Cyanide.
Q2 What are the benefits of EPI�s copper plating chemicals?

Q3 Why use Non-Cyanide Alkaline Copper Plating?
The use of non-cyanide alkaline copper plating eliminates the inherent dangers of cyanide in the workplace, including: the catastrophic accidental acidification of cyanide, the harmful chemicals used to treat cyanide and the dangers of cyanide if a fire occurs. It reduces the waste treatment costs for destroying cyanide along with fire and liability insurance premiums.
Non-cyanide alkaline copper plating can be installed in existing plates. With the non-cyanide process one bath serves as both the strike and plate bath.
Non-cyanide alkaline copper solutions have better throwing power (uniform deposit thickness) than acid-copper and cyanide copper solutions. The grain is smaller than cyanide copper which increases the density of the deposit. This density provides excellent heat treat stop off and masking properties. The soft deposit imparts improved adhesion and corrosion resistance and greatly improved resistance to thermal shock.
