Types of Copper Plating KPW Offers

Acid copper provides excellent leveling, high macro-throwing power, and high plating speeds. However, acid copper does have limitations. Some metals, such as steel and aluminum, are attacked and etched by the acidic solution. It can also produce immersion deposits that have very poor adhesion. For these metals, a cyanide copper strike must be used prior to plating.
