Ammonium Persulphate 410

Copper Etchant

Ammonium Persulfate crystals are used as an alternative to the traditional ferric chloride to produce a cleaner copper etchant solution.
Also try our new Sodium Persulfate crystals which are now compatible with our etch resist pens.
One kilogram of crystals will produce four liters of etching solution when mixed with water.
Not compatible for use with Cat. # 416-RP Etch Resist Pen.

Available Sizes
410-1KG - 1kg (2.2 lbs.) Crystals
410-25KG - 25kg (55 lbs.) Crystals

Sodium Persulphate 4101

Copper Etchant

Sodium Persulfate is a good replacement for Ammonium Persulfate for its compatibility with etch resist pens. Sodium Persulfate will not remove etch resist ink and like Ammonium Persulfate crystals, are used as an alternative to the traditional ferric chloride to produce a cleaner copper etchant solution.

Compatible with Cat. # 416-RP Etch Resist Pen.

Available Sizes
4101-1KG - 1kg (2.2 lbs.) Crystals
4101-25KG - 25kg (55 lbs.) Crystals

Ferric Chloride 415

Copper Etchant

Ready to use solution designed for etching printed circuit boards and other metals. Recommended for use with M.G. Chemicals Professional Etching Process Kit (416-E) and M.G. Economy Etching Process Kit (416-ES). Note: Do not dilute this product with water.

Frequently Asked Questions on this product

Directions of Use
Immerse copper board in solution and agitate until etching action is completed. Ferric Chloride can etch up to a maximum of 100g of copper per liter of solution (1.3 square meters or 14 square meters of 1 oz copper clad board). Etching process can be speeded up by heating the solution to a temperature no higher than 55°C (135°F). UIf you require further directions for etching or making a printed circuit board, consult the positive photofabrication process guide available free from your dealer.
