Abstract
In this study, the alkaline degreasing agent was developed for electroplating pretreatment process, and the efficiency and the durability was predicted. The alkaline deeping degreasing agent was prepared by blending sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium carbonate ($Na_2CO_3$), sodium silicate ($Na_2SiO_3$), and sodium lauric sulfate (SLS). The performance tests of the degreasing agent were evaluated in the $40{\sim}50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 30~40 min of the degreasing time. The efficiency and durability of the prepared degreasing agent were tested by the waterdrop formation test and Hull-cell plating test. The optimum ratio of alkaline degreasing agent was NaOH (30 g/L) + SLS (6.0 g/L) + $Na_2SiO_3$ (2.0 g/L) + $Na_2CO_3$ (40 g/L). Also, the optimum degreasing conditions were $50^{\circ}C$ of the degreasing temperature and 35 min of the degreasing time.
