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 alone. ■ BT-8 forms a heat-resistant copper discoloration protective film (oxidation prevention film). ■ The heat resistance time varies with temperature (e.g., 180°C for 20 minutes). ■ The surface treated with this agent does not experience a decrease in electrical resistance. ■ BT-8 has high hydrophilicity and good adhesion with water-based paints, reducing the rate of defects. 【Specifications】 ■ Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid ■ Specific gravity: 1.0 ■ pH: Neutral

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 oxidation film remover like CU-600 in conjunction will be even more effective. ■Please use it to prevent discoloration after plating or barrel polishing. It is also effective when added simultaneously during barrel polishing. 【Usage Instructions】 Copper material → Degreasing → Rinsing → CU-600 → Rinsing → BT-8 → Rinsing → Drying Point 1… If the copper surface is not kept clean, unevenness will occur, leading to early discoloration due to an uneven rust prevention film. Point 2… If water droplets are left during the drying process, water marks will form, so be sure to thoroughly remove any water droplets. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog if you wish.

Company information
Asahi Corporation has been listening to our customers' requests and striving to develop products that meet their needs since our founding in 1958. So far, we have released a variety of products, including cleaning agents for kitchen areas, car shampoos and waxes for car wash machines, as well as copper and silver tarnish prevention agents. In recent years, there has been a growing demand for environmentally friendly chemicals, leading to an increase in requests for degreasers, cleaning agents, tarnish prevention agents for semiconductors, and high heat-resistant tarnish prevention agents that do not use strong acids or strong alkalis. Our products have been developed in response to such voices from the beginning. We will continue to listen to a variety of feedback and develop new products.
