Anisotropic etching

Helps to achieve an improved etch factor and finer patterns with copper chloride etching.

MECBRITE

EXE Series

Compatible with standard acid etching processes.

Features of EXE Series

  • 20-times concentrated additive type (5% additive)
  • Can improve the etch factor by just adding it to an ordinary copper chloride etching solution.
  • Ordinary etching lines can be used.
  • General-purpose controller can be used.
  • Control margin is wide.
  • Both hydrogen peroxide and sodium chlorate can be used as oxidizers.
