Copper Anodes Overview

Galva Metall on top



Copper anodes and cathodes are essential for electrolytic copper Plating and are offered in various forms such as anode plates, cathodes, squares, clippings and bars. There are two main types: electrolytic copper (EL) and phosphorous copper (PH copper), which are optimized for different electrolytic baths.

Electrolytic copper (EL)

EL copper is suitable for cyanide-based electrolytic baths that produce uniform and shiny copper layers. It has a copper content of at least 99.99% and is available as cathodes in all dimensions that can be customized and provided with holes. Other forms are squares, ECU strips and clippings.

Phosphorous copper (PH)

PH copper is optimized for sulfuric acid electrolytic baths with copper sulfate as the main component and contains at least 99.9% copper and 0.04 – 0.06% phosphorus. It is available as flat anodes in all dimensions, tailor-made and provided with holes, as well as billet anodes in various shapes. Other shapes are squares and clippings.

In our in-house production we have the option of cutting anode plates according to your wishes and providing them with holes.

Copper clippings (EL) are copper anodes with at least 99.99% purity, suitable for cyanide-based copper baths, ensure better deposition and distribution in anode baskets thanks to a larger surface area than copper cathodes.

Copper EL Clippings

Our Copper EL Clippings are ideal for cyanide-based electrolyte baths that are intended to produce uniform and shiny copper layers. The copper wire sections (EL) are of the highest quality with a purity of at least 99.99% Cu. Thanks to their round shape and small dimensions of 12×20 mm, they slide perfectly into anode baskets and ensure a more uniform deposition. They also have a larger surface area.

The copper clippings are available in 10 kg bags or 25 kg buckets – we are also happy to accommodate alternative packaging requests.

Copper ECU strips (EL) are copper anodes with at least 99.99% purity, suitable for cyanide-based copper baths, ensure better deposition and distribution in anode baskets due to larger surface area than copper cathodes.

Copper ECU Strips

Our ECU Strips were developed to achieve even better distribution and greater bulk density in anode baskets. The EL copper anodes are especially suitable for cyanide-based copper baths and, with a purity of at least 99.99%, represent the highest quality. They are also a cheap alternative to the tried and tested copper wire sections.

We supply the copper ECU strips in the format 12×25 mm in 10 kg bags and 25 kg PE buckets – also in other packaging sizes.
