About Our Copper Plating Services

Copper plating is the foundation of many metal finishing processes. It provides excellent electrical conductivity, superb solderability, and outstanding adhesion for subsequent coatings. At Quality Plating, we offer both copper strike plating for thin decorative layers and heavy copper plating for functional applications requiring significant build-up.

Our copper plating baths are meticulously maintained with continuous filtration, regular analysis, and impurity removal. We use high-purity copper sulfate and acid copper formulations that deliver bright, smooth deposits with excellent throwing power into recesses and blind holes.

Copper Plating Options

Copper Strike

Thin, bright copper layer (0.5-2 microns) used as an undercoat for other plating. Excellent adhesion to steel, zinc die cast, and aluminum after proper pretreatment.

Heavy Copper (Build-Up)

Thick copper deposits (25-100+ microns) for engineering applications. Used for EMI shielding, heat dissipation, and dimensional restoration of worn parts.

PCB Copper

Uniform copper plating for printed circuit boards. Meets IPC Class 2 and Class 3 specifications with exceptional thickness distribution in through-holes.

Selective Copper

Masking and plating services for specific areas only. Economical solution when only certain surfaces require copper coating.
