Copper Bath (acid) JE540

Product information "Copper Bath (acid) JE540"

The copper bath (acid) JE540 is a universally applicable electroplating electrolyte. It is suitable for frame and barrel plating. Because of its excellent throwing power and adehesive strength the electolyte is often used as an under coat before further electroplating processes. The copper layers are fine-grained and slightly bright and create a very good adhesion between base material and final layer.
