1. Product features and application
1.1 It is suitable for the pre-plating of the base of zinc alloy die castings, and can also be used for the pre-plating of the aluminum alloy base after immersion in zinc;
1.2 FF-5107 series does not contain sodium cyanide, its performance and usage are exactly the same as sodium cyanide, and its current efficiency is high;
1.3 The coating has good bonding force, the current range is wider than that of cyanide copper plating, it is not easy to grow burrs, has excellent dispersion and covering ability, and the coating is fine and soft;
1.4 Simple operation and control, both rack plating and barrel plating;
1.5 Single component supplement, the surface of the coating is not hydrophobic, no need to remove the film, it can be directly plated with nickel or other metal plating species.
2. Solution Makeup & Operating Conditions
2.1 Process flow:
Pre-treatment → activation → rinsing → copper plating (FF-5107) → thickened copper plating → post process (other plating).
