Alkaline/basic copper plating solution - Areas of application

If iron or acid-sensitive materials such as lead, zinc, copper or steel are to be electroplated, the use of "alkaline copper plating solution" is recommended for preparation. For example, zinc would be dissolved in an acidic electrolyte without pretreatment with "alkaline copper plating solution". To prevent this, the material-friendly alkaline electrolyte provides the acid-sensitive materials with an initial copper layer and prepares them for the final coating with "Glossy copper plating solution acidic".

Another positive effect is the excellent adhesion properties of the layer created by "alkaline copper plating solution" and the improved corrosion protection. Dr. Galva's alkaline copper plating solution is characterized by a particularly fine-grained deposition and is ductile.
