Circutek CC-720™ is an acidic cleaner/conditioner for use in the electroless copper metallization process in the PCB industry. It is formulated to remove fingerprints, light soil and other contaminants from copper foil. It also conditions non-metallic surfaces including glass fiber fabric and multiple resin systems used in the construction of high-reliability rigid, rigid-flex and flexible printed circuit boards. The Circutek CC-720 is formulated to affect maximum adsorption of palladium tin catalyst to insure uniform deposition of the subsequent electroless copper deposit.

RBP is proud to announce the release of MAGNUM N-499, an additional innovation to their PTH process product offering for printed circuit boards. MAGNUM N-499 is a specially designed neutralizer based on hydrogen peroxide that removes residues of manganese dioxide from drilled holes after permanganate desmear in preparation for metallization of multilayer circuit boards. MAGNUM N-499 is effective on a variety of resin materials including high performance epoxy resins and polyimide. It is easily replenished and does not require circuit boards to be dried prior to processing. MAGNUM N-499 should be used in conjunction with MAGNUM K-401 OXIDIZER or MAGNUM N-501 OXIDIZER for optimal performance in the desmear sequence.

The state of Wisconsin’s “Safer at Home” order of March 25 has shut down “non essential business,” but our manufacturing plant is exempt. We maintain critical supplier status as we serve the electronic, medical device, graphic arts, and military industries. Part of this includes manufacturing cleaning solutions, like DT-600
As manufacturers of isopropanol & ethanol reallocate supply to support the medical, healthcare, and disinfectant industries, RBP Chemical Technology would like to offer another solution. Our DT-600 is an All-Purpose concentrate cleaner that can be used on a variety of surface types. This versatile and dilutable cleaner can tackle different cleaning jobs, meaning you only have to carry one product to conduct multiple cleaning processes. This product is environmentally friendly, and low odor with zero VOC’s.
