JBL-BriteUltraCu is a non-cyanide, non-pyrophosphate, alkaline copper plating process. It does the 밿mpossible?by plating directly onto steel, brass, copper, stainless steel, zincated aluminum, electroless nickel, sulfamate nickel as well as diecast zinc surfaces with out a separate strike. The single additive bath produces superior results in both barrel and rack installations as either a strike or plate bath.
JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu 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.
JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu 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.
Greater throwing power than acid copper.
The grain is smaller than cyanide copper which increases the density of the deposit. This density provides excellent heat treat stop off and masking properties. The fine grained JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu deposit under nickel/chrome improves the overall corrosion resistance and helps to throw the nickel farther into the low current density areas.
The JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu produces a softer and more ductile deposit than cyanide or acid copper. The soft deposit imparts improved adhesion and corrosion resistance and greatly improved resistance to thermal shock.
It has a high deposit purity and hence no out-gassing with subsequent brazing, soldering or vacuum operations.
JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu is simple and inexpensive to use because it replenishes the copper in solution by dissolving the copper anode and here again it is a unique product with only one maintenance additive.

Ultra-Cu Benefits
One solution serves as both a strike and a plate bath.
Eliminates the inherent dangers of cyanide in the work place and improves employee health and safety.
Eliminates the concern for a catastrophic accidental acidification of cyanide.
No cyanide in F-006 sludges.
No danger of cyanide if a fire occurs in a plant.
Eliminates waste treatment costs for destroying cyanide.
Lower copper concentration which means less sludge generation.
No carbonates to be treated. No carbonate sludge containing cyanide.
Eliminates the Toxic Release Inventory report for cyanide.
The accidental drag-in of JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu into an acid copper solution poses no health hazards.
Reduces fire and liability insurance premiums.
JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu has excellent bath stability and high efficiency. The bath does not have to be dumped as with other baths due to breakdown products or iron buildup.
The bath is easily maintained by monitoring the pH and copper metal concentration.
It has a very wide operating window.
It is easily installed in existing plating lines with only a new liner required for the cyanide copper tank. One tank of JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu serves the purpose of both the copper strike and the copper plate.
JBL-Brite Ultra-Cu is supplied as a liquid concentrate which is diluted with water.
