Discard frequency for surface activation bath

What will happen if surface activation bath is discarded every one month instead of 8 or 15 days suggested by chemical supplier?

Hi, Jitendra.

Why not discard it every 15 days instead of every 8 to 15, which will save you money, bring consistency, and allow you to begin acquiring data which you can then extrapolate? You haven't given us any information yet by which anyone could guess what you are doing and the effect of inadequate surface activation. Good luck.

Regards,
