Dear Sir,

The current COSHH replacement is Ethylenediamine, which is not a barred substance as formalin is. I have lost all my notes on electroless copper plating so I am suggesting the above from memory. I did, however, successfully implement a working process whilst at another company, which included; electroless copper plating, nickel, and gold. If you have any information to supply me, I would be very appreciative. I could give you some advice on the topic if you so wish?

Best wishes,
