Alkaline Non-Cyanide

E-Brite Ultra-Cu is a unique non-cide alkaline copper plating process.

Today, American cyanide copper platers face Department of Homeland Security (DHS) regulations in reporting potassium and sodium cyanide. Switching to E-Brite Ultra Cu eliminates cyanide and the DHS regulations of reporting cyanide.

EPI was the first with a heavy production proven, non-cyanide, non-pyrophosphate, alkaline copper plating process with E-Brite Ultra-Cu. It does the “impossible” 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. Ultra Cu copper has outstanding adhesion to difficult-to-plate die-cast zinc surfaces. The single additive bath produces superior results in both barrel and rack installations as either a strike or plate bath. It covers better and has greater throwing power than cyanide copper.
