Cupric tetrafluoroborate hydrate

Chemical Properties

prepared by neutralizing HBF with cupric hydroxide or cupric carbonate, then crystallizing; usually a hydrate; used in electroplating bath formulation [KIR78]

Uses

Cupric tetrafluoroborate hydrate is used as a raw material and component in copper and copper alloy electroplating solutions, for the preparation of copper plating electrolytes, and can plate copper at high current densities with fine and smooth coatings; it is also used as an electroplating electrolyte for printing and dyeing rollers and photographic printing rollers, as well as an auxiliary agent for copper smelting and welding, and a color developer for printing and dyeing and photography.
