Kemplate 1452

KEMPLATE 1452
  • An alkaline soak cleaner designed to remove light grease and fingerprints from the ABS plastic surface

Kemplate EH 384

KEMPLATE EH 384
  • Strong acid conditioner used to micro etch the plastic surface to get good adhesion of plate to coating to plastic without prior mechanical roughening

Kemplate Activator 1442

KEMPLATE ACTIVATOR 1442
  • An advanced Tin palladium catalyst solution which catalyses the microcracked ABS plastic surface to initiate the metal deposition from subsequent electroless nickel or copper bath

Kemplate PA 1492

KEMPLATE PA 1492
  • To improve initial deposition of subsequent electroless copper or nickel

Kemplate Ni 504

KEMPLATE NI 504
  • A highly stable room temperature electroless nickel bath to deposit uniform conductive nickel coating on ABS plastics

Microbond Activator 9446

MICROBOND ACTIVATOR 9446
  • Acidic tin-palladium activator for direct metalizing process
  • Gives uniform strong bonding of copper to the ABS surface

Microbond CU 995

MICROBOND CU 995
  • A highly stable alkaline bath making conductive link on plastic surfaces
  • Used for direct metalizing substrate process
