Yes, sodium copper ethylenediaminetetraacetate can be used in the PCB manufacturing process.
In PCB manufacturing, sodium copper ethylenediaminetetraacetate is also often used as an etchant for electroless copper plating. It is an efficient copper etchant that can form holes in unwanted parts of the copper foil, thereby forming the desired circuit pattern.

Sodium copper EDTA is not typically used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) manufacturing processes. PCB manufacturing involves multiple complex steps, including circuit design, board material selection, drilling, electroplating, etching, welding, etc. Various chemicals are typically used to treat and process the board during these steps, but copper-sodium EDTA is not a common choice.

Sodium copper EDTA is a complex commonly used in metal surface treatment and electroplating. It helps improve the smoothness and adhesion properties of metal surfaces, as well as enhance the bonding force between metal and substrate. However, sodium copper EDTA is not directly involved in steps such as plating and etching in the PCB manufacturing process.

In PCB manufacturing, specific plating solutions and etchants are often used to treat copper and other metal layers. These solutions and etchants are specifically designed for PCB manufacturing to meet specific process requirements and product quality standards.

Therefore, copper sodium EDTA is not a commonly used chemical in the PCB manufacturing process. If you have questions about specific steps in PCB manufacturing or the chemicals used, it is recommended to consult a professional PCB manufacturer or an expert in the relevant field.
