In this article, we will discuss from an operational perspective how an electroplating factory can select the copper brightener that meets its production needs.
Currently, acid copper brighteners available on the market are mostly sold in multiple formulations. Their bath performance and coating performance are not exactly the same. Before using them, electroplating factories should conduct comprehensive and systematic tests. Especially when changing to different manufacturers' brighteners, it is necessary to first test their compatibility with the original brightener.
During the usage process, it is also necessary to frequently conduct Hall cell tests to determine which reagent to add and in what quantity. Attention should also be paid to the control of chloride ions, and experience should be accumulated.
Due to factors such as production conditions, the type of processed products, the proficiency of operators and their sense of responsibility, the performance of the same type of copper acid brightener may vary significantly in different electroplating factories.
If one merely relies on the kilowatt-hour addition amount provided by the acid copper brightener manufacturer for supplementation, it would be overly simplistic. Why is that? The reason is that such data is mostly derived from laboratory conditions, and these laboratory conditions are not exactly the same as those in actual large-scale production environments. Therefore, such data cannot effectively guide electroplating production in a comprehensive manner.
Many electroplating factories have reported that some manufacturers only provide product manuals but fail to offer on-site guidance. If production is carried out solely according to the manual, it not only easily leads to production failures, but also makes it impossible to promptly solve the problems, resulting in a huge waste of manpower and resources.
So, how should one choose an acid copper brightener manufacturer? One should select a manufacturer with a good attitude towards after-sales service and experienced after-sales personnel who have both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. For example, Bigley Technology has been dedicated to the research, production and sales of electroplating additives for 23 years. It can provide acid copper brightener products with good positioning and excellent leveling performance. These products have been used in many electroplating factories for a long time. During this period, Bigley's technical service team has also accumulated rich practical experience and can guide the electroplating factories to add the right amount of brightener according to the actual production situation.
