Anti-Galvanic Chemical

Galvanic Corrosion Inhibitor

Product Name : HGI-300

An etchant excellent at inhibiting galvanic corrosion on substrates where metals with different potentials
(such as copper and gold) coexist, and at removing copper oxide films as well as organic/inorganic contaminants such as resist residues.

Item Features
Component Type Hydrogen Peroxide–Sulfuric Acid based
OSP Process Applicability Optimized OSP pre-treatment for PCB substrates where copper and gold coexist
Prevention of Excessive Copper Etching Selective protection minimizes over-etching of copper surfaces connected to gold
Etch Rate Easier process operation due to manageable, lower etch rate than conventional products
Copper Surface Roughness Forms copper surface roughness suitable for OSP treatment
Solderability Enables excellent solderability
Contaminant Removal Excellent removal of organic/inorganic contaminants such as copper oxide films and resist residues
Mechanism

Functional organic compounds protect the copper surface to suppress oxidation and form an appropriate surface roughness.
