Why is it so important to control the pH value when using copper pyrophosphate brightener?

To achieve excellent coating performance, it is crucial to properly control the pH value of the solution when using the copper pyrophosphate brightener.

The optimal pH range of the solution is 8 to 9. Beyond this range, the pyrophosphate will decompose to form orthophosphate or form a precipitate.

Meanwhile, if the pH value is too high, the anode dissolution and the current density range will narrow. When the solution is operated under high pH conditions, increasing the ratio of P2O7/Cu can eliminate the tendency of the coating to become rough. During actual operation, the pH value can be easily controlled within the range of 7 to 9, without chemical decomposition, and the solution has a strong buffering effect.

When using Bigely copper pyrophosphate brightener, in order to achieve a high-quality coating, one can learn how to lower or raise the pH value under the guidance of our engineers.
