Abstract (en)

[origin: US2005284766A1] Pulse reverse electrolysis of acid copper solutions is used for applying copper to printing cylinders, especially gravure printing cylinders. The plating composition generally comprising copper ions, counter ions, chloride ions, a polyalkylene glycol, and a bath-soluble divalent sulfur compound. The benefits include an improved thickness distribution of the copper electrodeposited on the plated article, reduced metal waste, reduced plating times and increased production capacity.
