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.

PrepBond™
An alkaline cleaner for use in the LAYERBOND 2000 adhesion promoter process. PREPBOND provides complete surface preparation for this process, eliminating the need for a microetch. It completely removes residues from Resist Stripper, and is extremely effective for removing handling soils and fingerprints. For spray, flood and soak applications.

De-Ox™ II
De-Ox II 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 II deoxidizes without “activating” the metal surface therefore subsequent re-growth of oxides is not altered. De-Ox II removes only oxides, and will not attack most metals, except zinc and aluminum. De-Ox II does not attack plastic surfaces in test sockets.

Layer Clean™ NP
An acid, non-etching cleaner that provides the most effective removal of chromate conversion coating from copper laminate. LAYER CLEAN NP also removes soils such as fingerprints and oxides. Used prior to photoresist lamination, it reduces imaging defects by improving photoresist adhesion. LAYER CLEAN NP’s non-chelating, non-chloride, phosphate free formula cleans and conditions copper surfaces, and provides consistent high speed cleaning at low concentrations. It is effective in both spray and soak applications.
