Luvata Oy products

Oxygen-free copper anodes are manufactured from extremely pure copper (99.95%). These anodes are used for the alkaline plating processes in cyanide and pyrophosphate baths. Oxygen-free copper has no pores in the cast state and no copper oxide inclusions. We  have considerable expertise in electrochemical processes and works closely with both the chemical industry and plating line producers to continually improve products and production methods.

The phosphorous content of these anodes is P 0.04 - 0.06%.  In our casting process, phosphorus is added to the master alloy which melts very fast.  Due to diffusion and continuous movement of the copper melt, the melt is instantly evenly distributed in the melt.  This leads to even phosphorus content in each anode. Our phosphorous copper anodes are widely used in the plating of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and in acid copper plating baths.
