The Principles and Effects of Alignment Agents
Author:Robby
A walk-away agent is a plating additive that is mainly used to improve the dispersing ability of the plating solution to ensure that the plating layer can evenly cover all parts of the plated part, especially those hard-to-reach areas.
Principles of Alignment Agents
The principle of a walker is to improve the fluidity of the plating solution so that it can better cover the surface of the plated part. The walker is usually a surfactant that reduces the surface tension of the bath and thus enhances the fluidity of the bath. In this way, the bath can be evenly distributed even in complex plating structures, ensuring the quality of the plated layer.
Application of alignment agents in electroplating
In practice, travelers are often used to improve the uniformity and consistency of the plated layer. For example, in the acid copper plating process, alignment agents can ensure that the plating solution evenly covers the fine lines on the circuit board to avoid leakage or uneven plating. Additionally, alignment agents can be used in combination with other additives to improve the overall quality of the plated layer.
