Electronic-Grade Copper Oxide Powder: PCB Plating Specification & Supplier Qualification Checklist

A technical evaluation guide built only from Zhongan Copper's published CuO specifications and document set.

What this resource is for

Use this page to organize an initial engineering or procurement review for copper oxide powder (CuO) used in PCB acid-copper electroplating. It does not replace a process trial, a batch Certificate of Analysis (COA), the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), or an agreed purchase specification.

Published application context

The product page positions electronic-grade CuO as a controlled copper source for PCB acid-copper electroplating systems that use insoluble anodes. The same published page also lists high-end PCB manufacturing, semiconductor packaging boards, PET composite copper foil, and silicone-monomer-related applications. Confirm the intended process and grade during technical alignment.

Published specification fields to review

The following are published electronic-grade specification limits on the product page. They are not a substitute for the applicable batch COA or a customer-approved specification.

FieldPublished electronic-grade specification
CuO≥ 99.00%
Cl≤ 0.0015%
Pb≤ 0.0005%
Na≤ 0.0030%
Mg≤ 0.0010%
Mn≤ 0.0005%
Fe≤ 0.0010%
Ni≤ 0.0010%
Zn≤ 0.0010%
Ca≤ 0.0010%
Acid-insoluble matter≤ 0.003%
Dissolution rate in acid≤ 30 s

Supplier qualification checklist

Before issuing a purchase order or approving a trial, align the following points with the supplier and your process team.

  1. 1Confirm the end use, bath chemistry, and whether the process uses insoluble anodes.
  2. 2Compare CuO assay, impurity limits, acid-insoluble matter, and acid-dissolution requirements with your internal acceptance criteria.
  3. 3Request the applicable batch COA rather than relying on a representative result alone.
  4. 4Review the SDS for handling, storage, and transport requirements before sample or production use.
  5. 5Confirm particle-size evidence, packaging format, document language, and any required third-party inspection before release.

Published CuO documentation

These files are available from the product and downloads pages. Review the document language, date, and whether it applies to the batch under evaluation.

Representative inspection values shown elsewhere on the product page are published reference information. Final supply remains subject to the applicable batch documentation and the agreed specification.
