Circutek™ ME-515
A powdered material that is mixed with water and sulfuric acid to make a mild etch solution for copper and copper alloys. The operating solution provides a bright, clean, uniformly etched copper surface on printed circuit boards. CIRCUTEK ME-515 operating solution is specially formulated to be used in place of a sulfuric/peroxide or sodium or ammonium persulfate etching solution. It is excellent for removing tarnish and oxidation from the copper surface, and can be used prior to electroless and electrolytic plating, after tab stripping.
When used prior to electrolytic plating as part of a pattern cleaning system, CIRCUTEK ME-515 cleans and etches copper surfaces. It aids in the removal of dry film binder residues that penetrate into the copper-clad surface of printed circuit boards.

CuBrite™ PC-525
A copper plating additive for acid sulfate plating baths designed specifically for high throwing power through-hole plating of printed circuit boards. CuBrite PC-525 produces bright copper deposits that provide consistent thermal stress performance. CuBrite PC-525 is a single, clear addition agent, added on an ampere hour basis, which is used to control the brightness and physical properties of the deposit. The extreme stability of this additive greatly reduces the need for routine solution purification.

De-Ox™
De-Ox is a de-oxidizer that will remove tin, lead oxides as well as other oxides from contact surfaces minimizing resistance levels and restoring semiconductor test sockets to optimal performance. De-Ox deoxidizes without “activating” the metal surface therefore subsequent re-growth of oxides is not altered. De-Ox removes only oxides, and will not attack most metals, except zinc and aluminum.
