Are you struggling with the discoloration of copper? ASAHI's BT series protects copper from discoloration due to oxidation.
This is a water-soluble copper discoloration inhibitor that forms a complex of copper and organic substances on the copper surface, preventing oxidation and long-term discoloration. It has the characteristic of achieving coating treatment through immersion only. 【Specifications】 ■Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid ■Specific gravity: 0.95 ■pH: Neutral ■BT-5 forms a copper discoloration protective film. It is a standard product among the BT series. ■The surface treated with this agent does not experience a decrease in electrical resistance. ■It also has good adhesion with paints, reducing the rate of defects. ■The discoloration prevention film treated with BT-5 on the copper surface is very strong at low temperatures below 40-50°C, completely preventing discoloration. However, as the temperature rises, the discoloration prevention film is destroyed, and its ability to prevent discoloration decreases.

basic information
■It is a neutral water-soluble agent. ■Simply immersing the product diluted with water at a ratio of 10 to 20 times will prevent oxidation for a long time and maintain a beautiful surface. ■Immersion temperature: Room temperature to 60°C (recommended 50 to 60°C) ■Immersion time: 30 seconds to 2 minutes (varies depending on immersion temperature). ■For copper products that have already discolored due to cutting oil or heat from machining, using a copper oxide film remover like CU-600 in conjunction will be even more effective. ■Please also use it to prevent discoloration after plating or barrel polishing. It is effective even when added simultaneously during barrel polishing. 【Usage Instructions】 Copper material → Degreasing → Rinsing → CU-600 → Rinsing → BT-5 → Rinsing → Drying Point 1… If the copper surface is not kept clean, unevenness will occur, leading to early discoloration due to an uneven rust-proof film. Point 2… If water droplets are left during the drying process, water marks will form, so make sure to thoroughly remove all water droplets. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog if desired.
