Electronic-Grade Copper Oxide Powder (CuO) for PCB Electroplating
Electronic-grade copper oxide powder (CuO) for controlled copper replenishment in PCB acid-copper electroplating.

Hazard Characteristics
Characteristics: Toxic, irritating.
Applications
Copper oxide powder (CuO), also known as cupric oxide or black copper(II) oxide, is used as a controlled copper source where stable dissolution and documented impurity control are required. Its uniform particle distribution and flowability support predictable replenishment in PCB acid-copper electroplating systems that use insoluble anodes.
High-end PCB Manufacturing
Inner layer plug hole process technology, flexible printed circuit boards, rigid printed circuit boards, and high-density interconnect (HDI) boards.
Semiconductor PKG Boards
Provides stable plating uniformity and high purity copper source for advanced semiconductor packaging substrates.
PET Composite Copper Foil
Copper source material scenario in new energy/thin composite copper foil process routes.
Silicone Monomer Synthesis
Acts as a highly efficient catalyst for silicone monomer synthesis related applications.
Key Features
Advanced Technology
Prepared by industry-advanced technology and processes.
High Copper Content
High copper content safeguards more stable, precise, and greener production requirements.
Fast Dissolution
Fast acid dissolution supports controlled copper replenishment in PCB acid-copper electroplating systems.
Excellent Fluidity
Smooth surface, low friction, excellent fluidity.
Uniform Distribution
No agglomeration, basically circular particles, uniform particle size distribution, good powder flowability.
Industry standard certification
Compliant with HG/T 5354-2018 Industrial Active Copper Oxide — stable, reliable quality with greater assurance for your applications.
