Eric Olander, President of EPi and John Gilbert, Sales Representative of Gilbert & Jones install a new E-Brite Ultra Cu bath (alkaline non-cyanide copper) to replace a copper pyrophosphate with excellent success. One advantage is the E-Brite Ultra Cu alkaline non-cyanide copper bath is it does not generate the orthophosphate like the pyrophosphate bath. The E-Brite Ultra Cu bath also plates directly to electro-less nickel (EN), while the pyrophosphate copper bath had to use a cyanide copper process. Another expected benefit is the bath stability day after day as it has a larger operating window than the pyrophosphate bath. The customer is also using cyanide copper strike prior to plating zinc die-cast and zincated aluminum parts and then the pyro copper. We can eliminate the cyanide copper process as well.
The E-Brite Ultra Cu is the same process that we used plating directly to the back of an I-pod . Click on E-Brite Ultra Cu to watch the video.
