| Items of Analysis | Standard of Analysis | Test Results |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | White crystal or powder | Conform |
| Assay | ≥98% | 98.35% |
| Arsenic | ≤4 ppm | 2.6 ppm |
| Lead | ≤1 ppm | 0.36 ppm |
| Insolubles | ≤0.5% | 0.34% |
| Water Content | ≤0.5% | 0.20% |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤500 ppm | 300 ppm |
| pH Value | 3-6 | 5.14 |
The low water content and controlled pH range between 3 and 6 contribute to the stability of the product during storage and usage. Minimal insoluble matter ensures clear solutions when dissolved, which is crucial for plating baths where particulate matter can defect finishes.
Industrial Applications
This versatile chemical finds primary employment as a reducing agent in electroless plating processes, facilitating uniform metal deposition on complex substrates. Additionally, it serves as an effective flame retardant for engineering plastics like PBT and PET, enhancing fire safety without compromising mechanical properties. The low iron content is particularly beneficial for electronic grade applications where metallic contamination must be avoided.
