Fast Etchant Sodium Persulfate for PCB 600g

Fast Etchant Sodium Persulfate for PCB 600gr

This product is a fast etchant specially formulated for etching printed circuit boards (PCB) at home or in electronics workshops. Sodium persulfate is a solid that, when dissolved in water, creates a clear solution that allows copper to be etched quickly and efficiently in approximately 10 minutes.

Key features

• Single component: solid sodium persulfate.
• Effective copper etching with an approximate ratio of 1 part powder to 3 parts water.
• Fast etching speed, around 10 minutes per board.
• The solution can be reused several times until its effect is exhausted.
• Low level of liquid waste and relatively mild odour.
• Ideal for home-made printed circuit board production.

Instructions for use

1. Dissolve the powder in water until saturated (example: 60 g of powder in 200 g of water) until a clear solution is obtained.
2. Immerse the circuit board in the solution. The colour of the solution will gradually change to green, indicating that etching is in progress.
3. In approximately 10 minutes, the copper will be etched away and the board will be clean.
4. When etching is complete, the emerald colour of the solution will be clear and bright.
5. For subsequent etches, add a little water and powder to restore saturation and continue the process.

Precautions and recommendations

• Corrosive product, the use of latex gloves is recommended when handling it.
• If the solution shows sludge or green sediment, this is a sign that it is damaged and should be replaced.
• If the solution does not turn emerald, it may be due to too few etches or too much damaged solution; in this case, repeat the process or prepare a new solution.
• Avoid contact with the aluminium base plate, as it should not be etched.
• Gently shake the tray during etching to help dissolution and the process.
• When finished, wash the board with plenty of water to remove residue.

Typical uses

This etchant is perfect for hobbyists, makers and technicians who carry out printed circuit board etching in workshops or at home. It allows fast, clean etching for electronics projects, prototypes and repairs.

Compatibility

Compatible with printed circuit boards containing copper. Not recommended for boards with an aluminium base or materials sensitive to the chemical corrosion of persulfate.
