Technistan HTM 4089 is a high throw matte tin sulfate process for printed circuit boards. Additive suppresses deposit thickness on the surface, creating a thicker deposit in the center of a high aspect ratio through-hole or at the bottom of a blind microvia with a fine grain deposit. Provides resistance to final etchants. All components are analyzable and stable.
