| Standard packing | Export carton or wooden crate, palletised |
What it is and what it does. Electrolytic copper (anode plate) is the 99.95% pure copper anode used in acid copper plating, where the anode dissolves to replenish the copper that is deposited on the work.
- Reddish-brown metal plate, normally 99.95% copper with a controlled phosphorus content depending on the process.
- In acid copper the anode dissolves cleanly and keeps the bath metal content stable, provided it is bagged and the chloride level is correct.
- Anode sludge forms on the surface; bagging the anode keeps the sludge out of the bath.
Typical Use in a Plating / Finishing Line
| Item | Typical guidance |
|---|---|
| Acid copper bath | Anode area matched to the cathode area, with a slightly larger anode area |
| Bagging | Polypropylene anode bags are standard |
| Control | Anode corrosion by visual check; copper content by titration |

Buyer Questions We Answer Every Week
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why is the anode covered in a black film? | That is normal as long as the film does not block dissolution; check the chloride level and the anode current density. |
| Should I use phosphorised or oxygen-free copper? | Phosphorised copper is normal for bright acid copper; confirm against the process specification. |
