The influence of complexing agents on the plating speed of electroless copper plating solution

2025-12-18 08:57:11

What factors affect the deposition rate of electroless copper plating solution?

The deposition rate of electroless copper plating solution is not only related to the concentration of copper salts in the plating solution, the concentration of formaldehyde, the pH of the plating solution, and the plating temperature, but also to the complexing agent.

Some electroless copper plating solutions on the market, due to the lack of a profound understanding of the role of complexing agents, often do not pay attention to the selection of complexing agents when preparing the solutions. As a result, the resulting solutions have a slow deposition rate and lack practical value for electroplating factories. After use, they often prolong the production cycle, which leads to excessive consumption of water, electricity and raw materials, causing a sharp increase in production costs. At this point, we can use Bigely electroless copper plating solution. It adopts appropriate complexing agents and other components, which can ensure a fast deposition speed, help electroplating factory customers shorten the production cycle, and the obtained coating is smooth, dense and has good adhesion.

After Mr. CAI from Shenzhen switched to our electroless copper plating solution, his production efficiency increased by more than 30%, and the defect rate dropped from 10% to less than 1%. He can now produce high-quality and high-standard electroplated products and adapt to the growing market demand.
