What is cyanide copper?

Cyanide copper refers to a type of electroplating solution that is used to deposit a layer of copper onto a surface using cyanide as a complexing agent. It is a highly efficient and cost-effective method of plating, and is commonly used in a variety of industries including electronics, automotive, and aerospace.

Cyanide copper plating solutions typically consist of copper cyanide, cyanide stabilizers, and various other additives that help to improve the plating performance and durability of the final product. The solution is typically heated and circulated through the plating tank using an electroplating machine, and the item to be plated is immersed in the solution and connected to a power source.

Although cyanide copper plating is highly effective, it poses a number of safety and environmental risks due to the toxic nature of cyanide. Proper protective equipment and safety procedures are essential when handling or working with cyanide copper plating solutions. Additionally, proper disposal methods must be followed to prevent environmental contamination and risk to health.
