A Truly Selective Process
Etching
gap
In the conductive layer
Seleo CP Plus reduces the risk of a gap developing in the conductive layer near
to inner layers which can occur if non selective direct plating processes are
used which require etching to clean innerlayers (e.g. carbon/graphite and some
conductive palladium processes)
