Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for deposition of matt copper deposits in the field of decorative coatings.
- Matt copper coatings in the field of decorative coatings are required as a surface finish for e.g. sanitary equipment.
- Another application of matt copper coatings is to replace matt nickel layers ("satin nickel") as an intermediate layer in decorative multilayer coating systems which becomes more demanding due to the toxicity of nickel.
- a homogeneous matt appearance is required for decorative metal layers.
- the homogeneity of the matt appearance can easily be achieved on substrates which have no complex shape because the current density distribution during electroplating of matt copper layers is within a narrow range.
- the current density during electroplating is within a wide range.
- Typical substrates having a complex shape which are to be coated with a matt copper coating are for example shower heads and automotive interior parts.
- matt copper layers Another requirement for matt copper layers is that their matt level should be adjustable in order to be able to manufacture copper layers having different matt levels.
- Plating bath compositions comprising at least one polyglycerine compound for producing matt copper layers during manufacture of printed circuit boards are disclosed in US 2004/0020783 A1 . It is neither possible to obtain a homogeneously matt copper deposit on a substrate having a complex shape nor to adjust the matt level of such a copper deposit when using the electrolyte disclosed therein.
- a dull plating method is disclosed in JP 8 134689 wherein a copper plating layer is first deposited by barrel electroplating, roughened by "emery power" and then a non-lustrous copper or nickel plating layer is deposited thereon.
- a multiple chemistry electrochemical plating method is disclosed in US 2004/0154926 A1 wherein a first copper layer is deposited from a first solution followed by electroplating a second copper layer from a second solution thereon.
