Caswell Flash Copper Plating Kit - 3 Gallon Capacity for DIY Metal Restoration, Jewelry Making & Automotive Parts - Perfect for Home Workshops and Professional Use

Flash Copper Plating Kit Improved Formula Provides Better Adhesion and Finer Plate Plates directly on steel, copper, brass, stainless steel, zincated aluminum, tin, nickel, electroless nickel and sulfamate nickel as well as die-cast zinc surfaces - without a separate strike and without going in live. Compiles with specifIcations: MIL-C-14550B and SAE-AMS-2418F for copper plating Eliminates the use of cyanide strike coats. Eliminates the use of Pot Metal Primer on Zinc Eliminates the use of Stainless Steel Activator Eliminates the use of Nickel Strike on Steel prior to copper plating Plates onto Lead and Pewter with the addition of Pickle #4. Increases the bond of acid copper, Nickel and Copy Chrome to all substrates Flash Copper is a unique alkaline electrolytic copper plating process with covering and throwing powers greater than cyanide copper. Flash Copper is an outstanding pre-plate copper strike for bright nickel, acid copper, tin and solder plates. It is an excellent heat treat stop off plate and EMI shield. It is also an excellent decorative finish for buttons, rivets, lighting fixtures and builders€ hardware. The copper plate can be readily blackened or oxidized for a variety of attractive antiqued finishes. There are no carbonates to be treated. It contains no strong chelators. It is supplied as a liquid concentrate, which is diluted with water. Flash Copper produces a fine grained, smooth, dense and ductile copper deposit, which is nonporous and has excellent bonding properties. The throwing and covering power of the non-cyanide process is superior to cyanide processes. This is especially evident in barrel plating. It has uniform low current density distribution with excellent micro-throw. The grain is smaller than cyanide copper, which increases the density of the deposit.
