Hardware workpieces need a series of pre-treatment operations before plating, of which the wax removal step is especially critical. Unclean wax removal will not only affect the adhesion of plating layer, but also may lead to defects during plating. In recent years, many enterprises have found that the wax removal effect has been reduced while the dosage of wax removal water is increasing. Why does this phenomenon occur and how can it be solved effectively?
Degreasing and dewaxing process is the key of electroplating pretreatment, the selection of formula and the control of process parameters directly affect the dewaxing effect. On the other hand, the quality of workpiece surface treatment is directly related to the adhesion and stability of plating layer. Therefore, it is very important to choose the suitable dewaxing water for workpieces of different materials and pollution levels.
There are several strategies you can try to solve the problem of poor wax removal:
1. Adjust the formula and concentration of wax removing water: Wax removing water BC-1 is one of the effective solutions to deal with this problem. BC-1 has high wax removing concentration and good wax removing effect, which can improve the wax removing efficiency of electroplating plant and thus save the dosage and cost.
2. Optimize the operation process parameters: for example, reasonable control of dewaxing temperature, time and stirring speed and other factors can further enhance the dewaxing effect.
3. Regular maintenance and replacement of de-waxing water: de-waxing water may become ineffective due to the accumulation of contaminants after a period of time, and regular replacement of de-waxing water helps to maintain de-waxing performance.
In order to ensure the high quality of the pre-treatment of hardware workpieces for electroplating, it is recommended to use Bigely wax remover BC-1, which shows good performance both in terms of wax removal efficiency and cost of use. Its high concentration can effectively remove the wax contaminants on the surface of the workpiece in a short period of time, improve the adhesion and uniformity of the plating layer, and escort the subsequent plating process.
To summarize, to solve the problem of poor dewaxing effect, we need to consider the formula of dewaxing water, process parameters and regular maintenance. The choice of de-waxing water BC-1 can not only improve the de-waxing effect, but also save the use of cost, is the appropriate choice for enterprises in the pre-treatment of electroplating.
