Item Name: Copper Brightener Solution (1 qt.) SKU: CB060501 Description: Copper Brightener Solution is a chemical additive used during electroplating and electroforming to improve the brightness and visual finish of deposited copper. It is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid solution intended to be added to a copper electroforming or electroplating bath when the copper deposit begins to dull or lose its reflective appearance. This is a hazardous chemical product intended for careful handling and should only be used when the user is confident it is the correct material for their process. How it is used: Copper Brightener Solution is used as part of the copper electroforming and electroplating workflow to help maintain a bright copper finish on plated surfaces. It is introduced into the plating solution in small amounts as needed, based on the appearance of the copper deposit and the performance of the bath. In lampworking and glass art studios, brighteners like this are commonly used when electroforming glass components, bead cores, or mixed-media pieces where a clean, bright copper surface is desired for appearance or for later finishing steps such as patina, sealing, or additional metal plating. Because this is a dangerous chemical, it should be handled with appropriate caution, protective gear, and ventilation.
