I would like to get an answer for some questions:

1. I need full description of how to strip electroless nickel from copper? and what type of chemicals and conditions can be used to achieve that?

Dear Mr Jamjoom,

For stripping NiP from copper there are commercial strippers on the market. You can try this recipe:

60 g/l Sodium hydroxide
120 g/l Ethylene diamine
60 g/l m-nitrobenzene-sulfonicacid
Temperature 75 C.

About your question for a description of stripping of gold, what's the base metal?

Kind regards,
