VERSENE Chelating Agents

Metal Plating

Trace metal impurities can cause rough deposits, reduced plating efficiency, embrittlement, dulling, and unsuitable metal deposition. Concentrations of 0.1-1.0% by weight of VERSENE* 100 chelating agent minimize these problems in the plating of copper, nickel, silver, gold, and other metals.

VERSENE chelating agents can also be used in immersion plating of copper on steel, and have been investigated as replacements for cyanides in conventional plating baths. VERSENE 100 EP chelating agent is widely used in electroless copper plating.
