  • Use of DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), a non-critical EH&S substance (EU & US)
  • Complete lifting of the metal layer within < 30 seconds
  • Cost-efficient process: recovery of process chemicals and precious metals
  • Optimized process time with positive impact on overall throughput
  • A plant demonstration in the AP&S DemoCenter is available.
