Description
Physical Properties:
E Brite Ultra Cu plates directly on steel, copper, brass, stainless steel, zincated aluminum, electroless nickel and most new high quality properly prepared zinc diecastings in both rack and barrel installations. Leaded alloys can be plated in rack lines. E Brite Ultra Cu is free of chelating agents.
It eliminates the necessity of striking in cyanide copper.
One bath serves as both a strike and a plate bath.
E Brite Ultra Cu eliminates potential health and environmental liability and the high cost of waste treating the cyanide.
Accidental drag-in of E Brite Ultra Cu into an acid copper solution poses no health hazards due to evolution of poisonous cyanide gas as with cyanide copper.
The solution does not have to be treated for carbonates as with cyanide solutions.
E Brite Ultra Cu produces a fine grained, smooth, dense and ductile copper deposit which is non-porous with excellent bonding properties. The plate may be buffed easily for a high luster.
It has excellent throwing and covering power, especially in low current areas and is superior to cyanide copper in these properties.
It is used as a preplate strike for nickel, acid copper, tin, solder and silver plate.
The E Brite Ultra Cu plate is an excellent heat treat stop-off and EMI shield.
It is also an excellent decorative finish for buttons, rivets, etc. The copper plate can be readily blackened or oxidized for a variety of attractive antiqued finishes such as those found on wall plates, lighting fixtures and builder’s hardware.
It does not contain strong chelators. It does not have a negative effect on typical waste treatment systems. E-Brite Ultra Cu plates while dissolving the copper anodes rather than plating out of the solution as is the case with other processes. Therefore, it offers lower operating costs.
The E Brite Ultra Cu bath is stable and does not have to be periodically dumped and recharged as with other non-cyanide alkaline copper processes which are based on pyrophosphate.
E Brite Ultra Cu is supplied as a liquid concentrate which is diluted with deionized water.
It is extremely easy to control with only one (1) liquid maintenance addition agent, E Brite Ultra Cu “E”, versus as many as five (5) agents with other processes.
Zinc diecast surfaces must be properly cleaned with EPI’s E-Kleen 140 soak cleaner and E-Kleen 173 electrocleaner followed by activation with E-Pik 211 acid salt formulation. Other cleaners and acid salts cannot be used on zinc diecast surfaces. E-Prep 280 NCZ zincate is the only recommended zincate for aluminum surfaces.
