Description

In substrate, form the preprocessing solution and the method for coating metal layer with frosting
Technical field
The present invention relates in substrate to form the preprocessing solution and the method for coating metal layer, described substrate has frosting, more specifically to the method that forms coating metal layer at polymeric amide and acetal plastic parts on one of at least.Especially in ornamental plating industry, use this solution and method and come plating polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate.
Background technology
The polyamide plastics parts have just been begun to electroplate as far back as many years ago.But range of application is narrow always because plating polyamide parts market is limited, so the research work of carrying out in this field seldom.Described first method in the publication of association (AES) the 65th session is electroplated by the U.S. that Washington in 1978 holds, it has brought up to about 1 N/mm with the stripping strength between metal level and plastic components.But,, do not point out the detail of this method except not using the chromic acid.The influence to adhesion strength of the surface tissue that obtains behind first method steps has been described, similar to the situation of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer (ABS) plastic components.In the ABS plastic parts, there is significantly relation between microscopic surface texture and the adhesion strength.
Now, for the pre-treatment of polyamide plastics parts, except described first method, also have two kinds of main optional methods, these optional methods comprise on the one hand with the solution pretreatment component that contains chromium (VI), use solution and sour pretreatment component on the other hand.The pretreated main drawback that uses chromium (VI) is that healthy and environment are harmful to, so its use is limited.In addition, opposite with ABS plastic, polymeric amide shows open relatively polymer architecture, thereby has the sizable water-absorbent up to 6%.This character also will make an appointment with quite a large amount of chromium (VI) to suck in the polymkeric substance, can not easily remove these chromium by cleaning with other chemical treatment.
Therefore, comprise with the above-mentioned another kind of optional method that contains the aqueous solution pre-treatment polyamide plastics parts that mineral acid and solvent (normally glycol ether) make up seemingly favourable.In the method, after implementing pre-treatment, the catalysis plastic components, this step comprises two or three steps: first optional step comprises plastic components is immersed in the polar polymer solution, thereby provides this extremely thin polymer layer to parts surface.This polymkeric substance is used for higher concentration and bigger intensity catalyzer being bonded on the surface of polyamide plastics parts.It will be more reliable will reducing the consumption of expensive catalysts and the further catalysis of parts thus.After from plastic components, washing adhesion solution, by parts are contacted with the solution that contains colloidal palladium it is carried out catalysis usually.Described solution is tart and comprises tin chloride and ideally be very suitable for the nonpolar olefin polymer of catalysis for example ABS or polycarbonate.The catalysis (EP 0 406 859 B1) that this solution is used for the polyamide plastics parts has also been described.
But, verifiedly not necessarily need to use these complexity and expensive catalysts to handle the microcellular polyamide plastic components.The solution that comprises ionic palladium also proves suitable, and this solution is easier preparation and not too expensive.According to the type of catalysis process, after with catalyst treatment, in specific solution, further handle plastic components.For example, if used the colloidal palladium catalyzer, plastic components contacts with so-called promotor, and it will remove the tin sheath (tin sheath) around the colloidal solid.All solution that can dissolve tin (II) may be used to this purpose, for example dilute hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide and organic acid.By reductive agent, for example borine hydrochlorate (boranates) (dimethylamino borine and alkali metal borohydride) and hypophosphite, the ionic palladium that is adsorbed onto on the used plastic components will be reduced into simple substance (elemental) metallic palladium.
Now, the most normal method of using comprises uses swelling and cleaning solution to handle the polyamide plastics parts, and described solution comprises glycol ether, mineral acid and tensio-active agent.Processing element is after required treatment time in this solution, thoroughly washes this solution and adheres to remnants on the plastic components.Then, in suitable conditioning agent, handle and catalytic member in acid palladium salts solution at last.After being exposed in the reducing solution, to parts nickel plating, electro-coppering and last plating are as the metal of facing, normally nickel or chromium then in electroless nickel plating solutions.
In addition, DE 31 37 587 C2 disclose the polyamide plastics parts that are used for decorative applications with the solution pre-treatment that comprises organic solvent (for example glycol ether) and acid (for example hydrochloric acid).Subsequently, by electroless plated metal coating coated parts, metal adheres well on the parts.
In addition, EP 0 406 859 B1 and EP 0 604 13 1 B1 disclose and have used oxidizing acid, for example chromic acid/sulfuric acid pre-treatment polyamide plastics parts.In addition, EP 0 604 131 B1 also disclose and have used mineral acid, comprise hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, chromic acid, formic acid and acetate etching polyamide plastics parts.The method of two pieces of documents all also comprises makes the polyamide plastics parts contact with comprising the solution of colloidal palladium with tin (II), removes detin (II) after passing through accelerate process.In addition, EP 0 604131 B1 also disclose use sensitizing agent-activator method or parts have been immersed in the palladium solution reduction solution and handled the polyamide plastics parts.
Considering between each step of aforesaid method needs three cleaning steps usually, relates to 16 steps until whole operations of electroless nickel plating step.
" Kunststoffmetallisierung-Handbuch f ü r Theorie und Praxis " (" Plastics Metallization-Handbook for the Theory and Practice "), EugenG.Leuze Verlag, Saulgau, Germany, 1991, the 47th and the 141-156 page or leaf mentioned the treatment process of another kind of polyamide plastics parts, it relates to the palladium catalyst catalysis plastic components that comprises the palladium coordination compound that contains organic ligand.This organic ligand provides the avidity specific with polyamide surface to coordination compound, it is said that this can influence the adhesivity of the metal level that formed afterwards on plastic components.Slight swelling or " roughening " that the document is also mentioned the polyamide plastics surface will be favourable.With chromic acid and with the acid and the processing of etching reagent will be inapplicable, because these reagent will irreversibly damage plastic components.More particularly, described method comprises at first contacts the polyamide plastics parts with the organic palladium title complex, then parts are carried out intermediate treatment, comprises the amorphous surfaces of swelling parts, uses the etching agent that comprises calcium and aluminium salt, and gives the parts electroless nickel plating at last.

Owing to comprise acid in the solution, can optimize the adhesivity of the coating metal of using to polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate, and need not in preprocessing solution to use those solvents that throw into question, described solvent is in toxicity, environmental influence, water miscibility, volatility, burning-point, attack stability, the cost that decomposes and need be problematic aspect carbon bonded halogen for acid.
In addition, in the adherent while of realizing coating metal and polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate smoothly, solution of the present invention still is aqueous, thereby can make the content minimum of any organic solvent that wherein comprises.Therefore, also will make the TOC minimum.
In addition,, comprise the fact of three cleaning steps, can under low workload, easily implement method of the present invention because pre-treatment only needs four steps before the metal-plated plastic-substrates.This application that also will guarantee this method once more is cheaply.
In addition, owing on plastic-substrates, do not form polymeric film, if use the preprocessing solution that comprises tackiness agent, in the method will be in this film the combined catalyst metal, even use the catalyst metal of lower concentration, also can on all surface position of plastic-substrates, implement metal-plated in no problem ground.Therefore, the concentration of noble metal catalyst can be low, and same preprocessing solution also will be that cost is effective.
Described at least a acid preferably has and is equal to or less than 5, more preferably is equal to or less than 3 and most preferably be equal to or less than 2 pKs.Because acid can be dissolved polymeric amide and polyformaldehyde material usually,, thereby make it can be by other treatment agent moistening and produce certain roughness in its surface so described at least a acid can be attacked the surface of polymeric amide or acetal plastic material.But, different with the pre-treatment of ABS substrate, do not need the roughening frosting with the abundant adhesion that is implemented in the metal level that forms on this frosting and make this roughening minimum to avoid too many surface damage.As if the adhesion that surface tissue can the formed metal level of remarkably influenced.But it is believed that the acid that comprises in the preprocessing solution can dissolve the surface film of polymeric amide or acetal plastic material, thereby the cleaning of generation and polar surface.But, do not observe acid and attack polymeric amide or the acetal plastic material that has dissolved significant quantity.Therefore, Suan influence may be based on another mechanism.Although be not bound by any theory, the inventor thinks that acid makes the hydrogen bond rupture of frosting existence.As if destruction (etching) mechanism of this and chromic acid differs widely, and the latter relates to the fracture C-C, thus the chemical modification frosting.
The origin that has shown substrate to be processed has very big influence to the finished product of wanting metallizing.Especially, for polymeric amide and acetal plastic substrate really like this.Temperature that use during molding process thus, and that be used for forming the mould of plastic components is an important parameters.Usually, do not control molding temperature.But if handle polymeric amide or acetal plastic material, low tool temperature causes forming slight corrugated surface.But the adhesivity that is deposited on the metal level on the frosting will be very high.For this reason, tool temperature is low as far as possible, and for example 25-35 ℃ will be favourable.If use for example upper tool temperature more than 60 ℃, surface quality will be better.But adhesivity will reduce.By in preprocessing solution, using the suitable acid of proper concn can remedy this lower adhesive power numerical value to a certain extent.For example, prove that hydrochloric acid is being favourable under the concentration of about 200 ml/l (37 weight % hydrochloric acid soln), and sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid (no hydrochloric acid) or methylsulfonic acid are inappropriate.C 1-to C 4-carboxylic acid, for example formic acid and acetate, preferable formic acid produces very big adhesive power equally between metal level and frosting.These other sour optimum concn is 200-500 g/l.But must consider that formic acid may be with precious metal, Pd more specifically says so 2+Be reduced into the simple substance precious metal, the palladium of more specifically saying so.
But it is believed that by making it to contact with at least a acid to make that the surface is wettable to be because the chemical functionalization on surface: polyamide plastics comprises amide functional group, thereby it is in the auxiliary formation hydroxy-acid group and the amine groups of can rupturing down of acid.It is hydrophilic that these functional groups become plastic-substrates, therefore can be moistening by the aqueous solution.Similar mechanism provides wetting properties for the acetal plastic surface.
As previously mentioned, described at least a acid even more preferably be selected from haloid acid, formic acid, acetate and lactic acid.Most preferably, haloid acid is a hydrochloric acid.Use these acid, can realize metal level very good adhesivity on polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate surface.
If preprocessing solution also comprises phosphoric acid except the strong acid of for example hydrochloric acid, found to realize metal level good especially adhesivity on polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate surface.Most preferably, comprise the phosphoric acid of the aqueous hydrochloric acid of the 37 weight % of about 150ml, about 100ml and the organic solvent of about 50ml in 1 liter of preprocessing solution.If the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 150ml/l in the preprocessing solution, obtain best adhesive power numerical value.
The described at least a organic solvent that comprises in the preprocessing solution can be selected from glycol ether, more particularly has chemical formula R 1-O-gly x-R 2Glycol ether, R wherein 1Be C 1-to C 6-alkyl, gly are-CH 2-CH 2-O-or-CH 2-CH (CH 3)-O-, wherein x is 1,2,3 or 4, and R wherein 2Be H, C 1-to C 6-alkyl or R 3-CO-, R 3Be C 1-to C 6-alkyl.More preferably described organic solvent is selected from diethylene glycol monoethyl ether and the diethylene glycol ether acetate alone.Their concentration in preprocessing solution can be at 1-990ml/l, in the scope of preferred 15-150ml/l.If the concentration of organic solvent in the concentration range of 50-200ml/l, is the mixture of hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid as tartaric acid, metal level descends at polymeric amide or the lip-deep adhesivity of acetal plastic.
The adhesivity of the metal level that the remarkably influenced of proof organic solvent forms on polymeric amide or acetal plastic surface.Have been found that glycol ether is specially suitable.The compound of being mentioned proves clearly and satisfies following demand: do not have any deleterious environmental influence, do not contain any and carbon bonded halogen, be water mixable, be not easy evaporable, do not have low ignition point, to acid attack decompose be stable, have low cost and be not deleterious, for example mutagenesis or produce deformity.
Described at least a acid and described at least a organic solvent both also are used for moistening frosting, thereby guarantee that frosting is with the complete of treatment liq and contact reliably.In addition, necessary pre-treatment frosting before metal-plated, thus their pollutent can not disturb no electric metal electroplating method.Because pre-treatment according to the present invention includes only a step and three cleaning steps, so this pre-treatment step can also be removed all contaminants certainly and catalyzer is adsorbed onto on the frosting fully except moistening (hydrophilization) surface.Experiment has shown if use preprocessing solution of the present invention, and some cleaning effects can take place.But, must avoid being adsorbed on serious impurity and fingerprint on the frosting comprehensively.
In preferred embodiments, precious metal is a palladium.In a single day proof becomes metal core with this metallic reducing, it has superior catalyst property.The concentration of palladium in preprocessing solution can be at 10mg/l-2000mg/l, in the scope of preferred 20mg/l-100mg/l.
Can form in preferred embodiments and do not contain any part or only contain inorganic part, halogen ligands for example, therefore chlorine part does not more particularly contain the precious metal of the ionic species of any organic ligand.Most preferably, the precious metal of ionic species is Pd 2+If electroless nickel plating subsequently can use the electrochemistry normal potential than any other metal of the negative hundreds of mV of nickel and therefore can cause nickel deposition, for example iron or nickel.In the aqueous solution, palladium ion will have and coordination center ionic water molecules.Can use Pd with the form of Palladous chloride, Palladous nitrate or palladous sulfate 2+Its concentration is not crucial for the ability of the activation plastic-substrates of wanting metallizing usually.Its too high concentration with and too low concentration can not manifest any negative effect.The concentration that can select precious metal is for being equal to or less than 100mg/l, more particularly be equal to or less than 80mg/l, even more particularly be equal to or less than 60mg/l, even more preferably be equal to or less than 40mg/l and be most preferably 20-40mg/l (perhaps about 30mg/l).Certainly, if reduce precious metal concentration more and more, will postpone electroless metal deposition more and more.But this delay can not bring any injurious effects, does not have electric metal at the most and is plated in for the first time during the plating than slower during subsequently.
Most preferably, preprocessing solution is the aqueous solution.In addition, this embodiment satisfies the demand that pre-treatment should have the TOC of reduction and not have the hostile environment influence.
In addition, preprocessing solution can advantageously not contain any tackiness agent.With United States Patent (USP) the 5th, 296,020 and 5, disclosed embodiment differs widely in 300, No. 140, and the present invention preferably carries out under this tackiness agent not having, thereby do not form film on polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate surface, this film combines and causes the required catalyst core of no electric metal plating.Thereby, because the many catalyst core in the film are capped and can't contact no electric metal plating bath, so this film will need more catalyst metal to cause no electric metal plating than the inventive method.
The very favorable embodiment of the present invention comprises uses promotion noble metal catalyst nuclear to be adsorbed onto polymeric amide or the lip-deep reagent of polyoxymethylene (conditioning agent).This conditioning agent will preferably be contained in the preprocessing solution.More particularly, promote that noble metal catalyst nuclear is adsorbed onto polymeric amide or the lip-deep reagent of polyoxymethylene can be the water-soluble polymers with polar group, the group of positively charged or negative electricity for example, thus they can mediate the adsorptivity between the contained chemical substance in frosting and the solution.For instance, it can be the polyelectrolyte compound.In a most preferred embodiment, this polyelectrolyte compound can be polyimidazole (polyimidazolium) compound, for example polyimidazole metilsulfate (polyimidazolium methosulfate).Use adsorption enhancer, will obviously strengthen the absorption of the metal level that on polymeric amide or acetal plastic surface, forms.The concentration of this reagent in preprocessing solution can be at 1mg/l-5000mg/l, in the scope of preferred 10mg/l-100mg/l.
Promote the reagent of absorption not only to promote noble metal catalyst to check the absorption of plastic-substrates, and promoted the absorption of catalyzer the supporting element (for example shelf) of any plastic components.This absorption will increase the consumption of precious metal on the one hand, and also cause coating metal on the other hand and deposit on the holding element.Therefore, must the frequent stripping coating metal.But, because promote the reagent of noble metal catalyst nuclear absorption will strengthen the absorption of precious metal, thus its concentration is minimized, every liter of preprocessing solution 20mg Pd for example 2+In addition, if use the reagent that promotes the absorption of noble metal catalyst nuclear, can carry out metal deposition to several polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate, otherwise substrate can not plating.
In addition, only use hydrochloric acid if in preprocessing solution, do not use phosphoric acid, promote the reagent of noble metal catalyst absorption as if to strengthen the adhesivity that is deposited on the metal level on the plastic-substrates to a certain extent.
In addition, preprocessing solution of the present invention can comprise tensio-active agent.This reagent will reduce the surface tension of solution, thereby can more easily moistening plastic-substrates.Its chemical structure and characteristic are not claimed.Except will realizing the alap surface tension of preprocessing solution, this reagent is also incited somebody to action preferred easy flush away simply and is harmless, especially to animal.For this reason, the nonyl phenol derivative is not preferred.
In order in polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate, to form conductive layer, can use any no electric metal plating bath.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, coating metal is a nickel.Therefore, because electroless nickel plating is that cost is effectively and because nickel plating solution is stable and the advantage of easy enforcement is provided to decomposing basically, so can use electroless nickel plating solutions deposition the first metal layer.In addition, can need not to use any deleterious compound, for example formaldehyde.
Generally, no electric metal plating bath, more particularly electroless nickel plating solutions comprises at least a metal ion source, more particularly at least a nickel ion source, for example single nickel salt or nickelous chloride; Also have reductive agent, for example at least a hypophosphite, diphosphanetetroic acid, borane compound, for example dimethylamine borane or sodium borohydride, perhaps formaldehyde is if deposited copper; And at least a coordination agent, carboxylic acid for example is as succsinic acid, citric acid, lactic acid, oxysuccinic acid, ethylidene tetraacethyl and their salt; At least a buffer reagent or other pH regulator agent are as acetate/acetate or sodium hydroxide.Hypophosphite and diphosphanetetroic acid are owing to its cost is better than other reductive agent.In addition, coating solution can comprise the additive that prevents the spontaneous decomposition of solution with used as stabilizers.
Method of the present invention has utilized the reductive agent that uses metal deposition solution palladium or other precious metal ion can also be reduced into the fact of simple substance palladium or another kind of simple substance precious metal.Because can use identical reductive agent, so use the reductive agent that comprises in the no electric metal plating bath can reduce precious metal ion for the reduction of precious metal ion and the deposition of coating metal.Therefore, in one embodiment, described method can only comprise four steps (pre-treatment step and three cleaning steps) before no electric metal plating substrate.Hypophosphite and diphosphanetetroic acid proof can be adsorbed onto the lip-deep Pd of polymeric amide or acetal plastic 2+The ion spontaneous reaction forms palladium catalyst nuclear, and it may cause nickel plating to being enough to store hydrogen atom greatly.If the temperature of electroless nickel plating solutions is about 50 ℃, after less than 30 seconds, finish Pd 2+Reduction.Astoundingly, with in independent step, reduce Pd 2+Other method compare Pd 2+Reduction in fact do not postpone.Usually, the electroless nickel plating cost is about 6-12 minute; Therefore can not detect any small delay in the nickel plating solution.Proof has nothing to do with using which kind of electroless nickel plating solutions, and electroless nickel plating is reliable.
Have been found that the method for the present invention that is included in the no electric metal plating bath reduction precious metal ion is reliable for the ability (even metal plating) of metal-plated, although it is believed that with no electric metal plating bath and handle plastic-substrates by cleaning, before taking place to reduce, peel off (strippedoff) and be adsorbed onto precious metal ion on the plastic-substrates to small part.In the case, because can deposit coating metal having peeled off the precious metal place,, but will make the no electropaining cloth metal plating liquid instability that becomes so the precious metal of absorption part is not used in the initiation of no electric metal plating.But this hypothesis does not take place in proof.Otherwise the precious metal that peels off from frosting will trend towards making the metal plating liquid instability.But, do not confirm this phenomenon, and do not observe the increase that contained reductive agent consumes in the metal plating liquid equally.
Preliminary experiment has shown that etching, adjusting and the activation step before used separately can be merged into a step (comprising organic solvent, acid, conditioning agent and catalyzer in preprocessing solution), and the previous steps of reduction activator material and the plating of no electric metal can be merged into another step, carry out cleaning step betwixt three times.Precipitation or negative interference do not take place when preparation preprocessing solution of the present invention.In addition, because the effect of pre-treatment chemical reagent, the conditioning agent material does not peel off from frosting.In addition, etching and activation do not cause the inhomogeneous covering from the teeth outwards of precious metal nuclear frosting the time.
In another embodiment of the invention, after step b) and before step c), substrate is contacted with reducing solution.Described reducing solution preferably comprises at least a reductive agent that the precious metal of described at least a ionic species can be reduced into the simple substance precious metal.Reductive agent can be preferably selected from hypophosphite and diphosphanetetroic acid.By polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate are contacted with reducing solution, metal-plated possibility or even more reliable, because carry out metal-plated under can be in the preprocessing solution given precious metal concentration, realize the metal covering faster of plastic-substrates surface, perhaps even with precious metal concentration be reduced to low-down value, for example every liter of preprocessing solution 20 mg palladiums.Therefore, as the result of sucking-off from pretreatment baths (drag-out) preprocessing solution, precious metal losses still less makes the consumption of precious metal minimize, so can implement described method very economically.In addition, by the no electric metal plating bath of having removed any substance protection from preprocessing solution, it adheres on the frosting rather than enters in the no electric metal plating bath the most at last.
If use this independent reducing solution to come from Pd 2+Activation causes electroless nickel plating, preferably operates reducing solution being not less than under 3 the pH.In addition, the temperature of this solution preferably is not less than 35 ℃.The concentration of hypophosphite is recommended as below 30g/l in this solution, and about 20g/l is enough (sodium hypophosphites; For other salt or diphosphanetetroic acid is identical volumetric molar concentration).
In pre-treatment step with do not have that to clean proof between the electric metal plating step be not crucial for metal-plastic adhesivity, even metal plating and other requirement.But, must lack as far as possible to prevent formation percolation structure (draining structure) on frosting in pre-treatment and time of using between the cleaning step for the first time.Clean under the situation that spend 1 minute and should in cleaning, efficiently stir plastic-substrates at least for the first time and carry out, thereby from base substrate, remove any organic solvent.
Experiment shown adhesivity as if significantly depend in the polyamide plastics parts suction with and the last degree of planar water in surface.For example, this understanding comes from etching reagent can not pre-treatment polymeric amide or acetal plastic surface, thereby keeps the abundant adhesivity of metal level above it.It is believed that the etching reagent fracture amido linkage or the polyamide plastics material that also ruptures, but it also will introduce the abundant adhesion that therefore more water have also hindered metal level in polymeric matrix owing to its strong hydrophilic nmature.In polyoxymethylene, cause similar effect.For this reason, use aqueous solution processing polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate seemingly very disadvantageous.But because described method only was made up of four steps before the metal-plated plastic-substrates, and the first metal layer has sealed frosting then, thereby stops any further contact of surperficial and water, has avoided sucking excessive water.In addition, prove that the plastic components that stores metal deposition is favourable in order to strengthen the adhesivity of metal level.Usually, this adhering increase will be finished after at room temperature about 3 days, if but storing temp is increased to for example 60 ℃, can only after several hours, just finish.
Although the roughness on polymeric amide and acetal plastic surface is far below common ABS plastic surface, metal level may be higher than the adhesivity of metal level to the ABS substrate to the adhesivity of polymeric amide or acetal plastic substrate.This observations may more have electrostatic interaction between polar polymeric amide or the acetal plastic surface owing to metal level with than ABS plastic surface.Be adsorbed onto between metal level and the frosting on the interface and be absorbed into any water in the plastic material and spread all over whole plastic material after, obtain this and the higher adhesivity of polymeric amide or acetal plastic surface.Porosity by polymeric amide or acetal plastic material can bring this distribution.
In order to handle plastic-substrates according to the present invention, by their being immersed in solution or, make they and preprocessing solution by spraying or splash solution on the plastic-substrates surface, randomly reducing solution, no electric metal plating bath contact with cleaning liquid., plastic components can be fixed on the shelf for this reason, perhaps be contained in the drum, perhaps transmit, parts are placed on top hanging basket for the described treatment facility of holding member has been equipped with by treatment facility.
