Copper Plating Processes
- Process Overview
Engineering High-Performance Conductive Undercoats and Levelling Layers
Copper plating is essential for achieving deep-pore penetration, exceptional thermal and electrical conductivity, and flawless micro-levelling prior to decorative or engineering finishes. Whether used as a high-throwing-power strike layer on active substrates like steel and zinc die-castings, or as a thick ductile build-up for electronics and electroforming, our copper processes eliminate surface micro-defects and provide an unbreakable bond for subsequent nickel and chrome layers.
Every Mepco copper system is formulated in our Lahore R&D laboratory and balanced for local water quality, workload, and line conditions. The result is a bath that is easy to control, highly ductile, and economical to run—backed by engineers who visit your plant to set it up and keep it in peak condition.

MEPCO’s copper plating systems deliver exceptional throwing power, outstanding micro-levelling capabilities, high electrical and thermal conductivity, and superior adhesive strike properties on difficult metallic substrates.
Cyanide copper baths provide supreme throwing power and robust adhesion, making them the preferred choice for strike layers on steel and zinc. Acid copper baths offer rapid deposition rates and brilliant levelling, making them ideal for thick engineering builds and decorative multi-layer systems.
