Background technology
Along with social high speed development, single metallic substance or non-metallic material can not meet people's demand.In order to have the feature such as portability, insulativity of non-metallic material and the feature such as glossiness, electroconductibility of metal concurrently, the conductive treatment of non-metallic material has become the important research field of modern material science and technology.In the conductive treatment process of non-metallic material, electroless copper, usually used as the first step operation, can provide initial continuity homogeneous conductive substrate for the electroconductive coating of the complete excellence of follow-up acquisition.Because to adopt formaldehyde be reductive agent, electroless copper not only has lower production cost, and can obtain at catalytic matrix surface that purity is higher, the good copper coating of electroconductibility, therefore in industrial production, obtains a wide range of applications.Such as, conductive treatment and the preparation of electromagnetic shielding box etc. of the metallization of through hole and blind hole on plastic electroplating, printed circuit board (PCB), pottery, generally all adopt the electroless copper bottoming taking formaldehyde as reductive agent.
For electroless plating system, the autocatalyzed oxidation process of reductive agent is the control step of whole process often.Chemical copper plating solution taking formaldehyde as reductive agent, only has when the pH of solution value is higher than 11.0 time, and formaldehyde can be oxidized on active matrix surface, the cupric ion in chemical reduction plating solution.So the chemical copper plating solution taking formaldehyde as reductive agent is often all worked under strong alkaline condition, also require to have a large amount of complexing agents in plating solution, prevent the hydrolysis of metal ion.But the electroless copper plating speed taking formaldehyde as reductive agent is on the low side, not only can cause the decline of production efficiency, and electroless copper overlong time easily causes the unstable of quality of coating.Therefore the plating speed that, how to improve electroless copper has become the key issue of electroless copper technology.
In the chemical copper plating solution system taking formaldehyde as reductive agent; often there is threshold value in the autocatalyzed oxidation speed of formaldehyde; if the valence state of copper is reduced to positive monovalence by positive divalence in plating solution; can chemical reduction in the situation that consuming equivalent formaldehyde go out the metallic copper of larger equivalent; plating speed and production efficiency are not only improved; ensure the stability of quality product; and the usage quantity that can save formaldehyde in electroless copper process, be conducive to the control of production cost and the environmental protection of electroless copper process.
