methyl sulfonate electroplating solution | methyl sulfonic acid is a caustic chemical substance, abbreviated as MSA, it has a wide application prospect in the field of electroplating and has been proved to be a good substitute for fluoroboric acid or phenol sulfonic acid. methyl sulfonate electroplating solution has been applied to tin and tin-lead alloy electroplating, product features are as follows: 1. Bright pure tin plating of methyl sulfonic acid type, the crystal of the coating is fine, uniform, bright silver white, with good weldability, suitable for the electronics industry. 2. The plating solution has high plating speed, wide current density range, fast deposition speed and excellent deep plating ability. 3. After standard aging test or long-term storage, good welding performance can be maintained. 4. Does not contain fluorine boric acid, wastewater treatment is easy, low corrosion, conducive to environmental protection. |
Application | methane sulfonic acid is a raw material for medicines and pesticides, and can also be used as dehydrating agent, coating curing accelerator, fiber treatment agent, solvent, catalysts for polymerization, esterification and polymerization. used as catalyst used as solvent, alkylation, esterification and polymerization catalyst, also used in pharmaceutical and electroplating industry used as esterification catalyst, alkylating agent, and for oxidation reactions. catalysts for alkylation, esterification and polymerization. Solvent. can be used in pharmaceutical intermediates, electroplating, organic synthesis intermediates used as solvents and catalysts for alkylation, esterification and polymerization reactions, pharmaceutical intermediates, 70% concentration for electroplating. |
production method | is obtained from the oxidation of methyl thiocyanate by nitric acid. The nitric acid and the effective negative water are carefully heated to 80-88 °c, methyl thiocyanate is added in portions, and the temperature is automatically increased to about 105 °c. After the reaction was relieved, the reaction was heated to 120 ° C. And reacted for 5 hours to obtain a crude product. The crude product was diluted with exchange water, adjusted to pH 8-9 by addition of 25% barium hydroxide solution and filtered. The filtrate was deeply condensed to the extent that crystals were precipitated, and the crystals were washed with methanol to remove nitrate to obtain barium methanesulfonate. Then, the base was added to the exchange water, boiled, decomposed by hot addition of sulfuric acid, filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure until no water was produced, to obtain a finished product. Another method is from methylisothiourea sulfate by chlorination, oxidation, hydrolysis and derived. Adding methylisothiourea sulfate into water, passing chlorine gas at 20-25 ℃, until the color of the solution turns yellow, and the phenomenon of oil layer, temperature drop and large amount of residual chlorine discharge in the exhaust pipe appears at the bottom of the bottle, the end point of the reaction. The reaction solution was extracted with chloroform, the extract was dried, chloroform was distilled off at 60-62 ° C. Under normal pressure, and then distilled under reduced pressure to collect a 60-65 ° C. (2.67kPa) fraction to obtain methanesulfonyl chloride. The base was added dropwise with stirring to hot water at 80 ° C., and the hydrolysis was maintained for about 2H until the oil droplets in the reaction solution disappeared. The reaction solution was concentrated to syrup under reduced pressure and diluted with water, Further, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure until no water was distilled to obtain methanesulfonic acid. |
