The invention discloses an environment-friendly deplating agent as well as a preparation method and a use method thereof. Each
liter of the environment-friendly deplating agent comprises 20-100g of
sodium persulfate, 100-300mL of concentrated
sulfuric acid, 2-10g of
ferric chloride hexahydrate, 0.005-0.1 g of a
wetting agent, 1-10g of an
imidazole slow
release agent, 1-10g of
citric acid and water as a
solvent. The environment-friendly deplating agent is safe,
environmentally friendly and low in use temperature (30-40 DEG C), and has the characteristics of being clean in deplating, free of
corrosion to a matrix and high in deplating speed;
sodium persulfate and
ferric chloride hexahydrate are adopted as main substances for dissolving a
nickel layer, then an
imidazole slow-
release agent and
citric acid are added, the
nickel stripping effect is guaranteed, meanwhile,
copper or
copper alloy of a
metal base material cannot be corroded, and the
copper corrosion speed is smaller than 0.33
micrometer / min; besides, in the production process of existing printed circuit boards, plastic antenna oscillators and other products, a
palladium layer is further arranged between the base material and the
nickel plating layer, and after the environment-friendly deplating agent finishes deplating of the nickel plating layer, the
palladium layer between the base material and the nickel plating layer can also be deplated.
