MAR MN-66

MAR MN-66 is a post-etch back neutralizer solution designed to neutralize and clean permanganate residue from the holes of printed circuit boards. It insures a well-conditioned hole wall surface that allows for subsequent electroless copper coverage.

When used with GE-70, a mild glass frost to glass etch will occur.

Advantages of the MAR MN-66 process include:

• Excellent Neutralization - Improved hole quality
• Chloride\Peroxide Free - Extended Solution Life
• Low Copper Build-up - Reduced Copper Attack
• Low Copper Build-up - Reduced Copper Attack

SOLUTION MAKE-UP (100 litre solution)

NOTE: The make-up of this solution must be done in the stated above order.

SOLUTION LIFE

MAR-Tech recommends that the MN-66 bath be replaced when the concentration of copper metal reaches 1,500ppm in the made up solution.

OPERATING PARAMETERS

ANALYSIS OF MAR MN-66

1. Reagents Required
   1. Saturated Ferric Ammonium Sulfate Solution (198g/L in 1% v/v Sulfuric Acid)
   2. 0.1 Normal Potassium Permanganate Solution
   3. 50% v/v Sulphuric acid (98%)
   4. 85% phosphoric acid
2. Method
   1. Pipet 2 ml of the working solution into a 250 ml Erlenmeyer Flask and dilute to 30 ml with de- ionized water.
   2. Add 5 ml of the Ferric Ammonium Sulfate Solution and 5 ml of the sulfuric acid solution.
   3. Boil on a hot plate for 5 minutes, remove and cool. Dilute to 150 ml with de-ionized water.
   4. Add 5 ml of phosphoric acid and mix.
   5. Titrate with 0.1 Normal Potassium Permanganate to a pink endpoint lasting 15 seconds or more.
3. Calculation

   ml/litre MAR MN-66 = (ml KMn04) x (Normality of KMn04) x 80

   Maintain concentration of MAR MN-66 between 80 to 110 ml/litre
