Definitions

  • the invention regards the pretreatment of nonconductive plastic surfaces prior to their metallization and may be applied in various industries where decorative or functional metal coating of plastic parts is required.
  • the pretreatment is performed in a solution free of hexavalent chromium which contains an oxidising agent and a stabiliser compound.
  • a conventional method of pretreatment of nonconductive plastic surfaces prior to their electroless metallization consists of etching the surface in hexavalent chromium containing solution, followed by the activation in a ionic or colloidal solution of palladium compounds and either the reduction in the sodium hypophosphite solution (in most cases) or the acceleration in an acidic solution (usually hydrochloric acid) of the palladium ions or colloidal palladium particles, respectively, adsorbed on the plastic surface.
  • Etching during the pretreatment step of the nonconductive substrate surface is required for hydrophilisation purposes so that the surface becomes hydrophilic in other phases of the process in water solutions, with sufficient quantities of palladium salts adsorbed, and for ensuring proper binding of the metal coating to the nonconductive plastic surface.
  • the activation with the subsequent reduction or acceleration is performed in order to initiate the electroless deposition of the metal on the plastic.
  • electroless plating with metal in the metallization solution takes place through auto-catalytic reactions where the metal deposited on the surface acts as a catalyst for further depositing.
  • the metals nickel and copper are mostly used for this electroless plating.
  • electrolytic or galvanic plating can be performed on the first metal layer.
  • Various metals can be applied, for example chromium, nickel, copper and brass or other alloys of the foregoing metals.
  • the main shortcomings of the conventional method are related to the cancerogenicity of the chromic acid in the etching solution.
  • the metal deposited during the electroless deposition step for example nickel, also covers parts of rack insulated with plastisol, which results in the metal losses in the solutions of subsequent metal plating electrochemically and therefore is undesired.
  • Various methods to overcome this problem have been suggested in the prior art.
  • US Patent Application No. 2005/0199587 A1 discloses a method of etching of nonconductive plastic surfaces in an acidic solution containing 20-70 g/l of potassium permanganate.
  • Optimal KMn0 4 concentration in above mentioned solution is close to 50 g/l.
  • concentration is below 20 g/l, the solution is ineffective, with the upper concentration limit determined by the solubility of potassium permanganate.
  • the etching is followed by the activation in a palladium salt solution containing amine and by further reducing treatment, e.g. in a borohydride, hypophosphite or hydrazine solution.
  • etching in the permanganate solutions activates the surface of the rack's plastisol insulation as it is coated with the product of the etching reaction, i.e. manganese dioxide.
  • the latter stimulates adsorption of palladium compounds on plastisol, which tends to metallize in the solutions of electroless metal deposition.
  • Formation of manganese dioxide on surfaces is characteristic of the permanganate etching solutions of any composition. Therefore, a very important objective of the present invention is to avoid rack metallization and resulting metal losses in the subsequent metallisation stage.
  • Lithuanian patent application number LT 2008-082 also concerns the pretreatment of nonconductive plastic surfaces prior to metallisation.
  • a pretreatment composition for etching e.g. polyimide for 1 - 2 minutes with a temperature of 10 - 80 °C, 0,005 - 0,2M oxidizing solution in sulphuric acid in a concentration of between 13 mol/L (about 75 vol.%) and 17 mol/L (about 90 vol.%), wherein the oxidizers can be KMn0 4 , HCI0 4 , V 2 0 5 , KCI0 3 .
  • Lithuania Invention Application No. 2012 042 relates to a method of etching of plastics in a chlorate solution in 50 to 80 vol.% sulphuric acid.
  • the etching solution can also contain another oxidizer with a standard oxidizing potential exceeding that of the chlorate ions.
  • the plastic Upon treatment in the alkali metal hydroxide solution, the plastic is activated in a solution of palladium compounds, then held in a solution for the purpose of either reduction or acceleration and afterwards subjected to an electroless nickel-plating process.
  • the advantages of the method consist in the high values of adhesion between the electroless nickel coating and the plastic as well as in the exclusion of the plastisol- coated plastic coated rack from the nickel-plating process.
  • the etching solution may absorb water vapour from the ambient air and, due to resulting dilution, the etching properties might negatively be influenced.
  • One solution to this problem is the increase of temperature of the etching solution, which might, however, result in lower stability of the solution.
  • the source of chlorate ions can be any water soluble salt. Most commonly used are sodium and potassium chlorate.
  • the concentration of the chlorate ions in the etching solution ranges between 0.0016 mol/l and up to 0.12 mol/l. Preferred ranges vary between 0.003 mol/l and 0.08 mol/l or between 0.01 mol/l and 0.06 mol/l or 0.004 mol/l and 0.04 mol/l.
  • the concentration of the sulphuric acid ranges between 50 and 80 vol.%, preferably between 55 and 70 vol.% and even more preferred between 60 and 65 vol.%.
  • the concentration of the vanadium compound ranges between 0.01 and 20.0 g/l, preferentially from 0.1 to 8 g/l, and even more preferentially from 0.5 to 7.0 g/l, in the etching solution.
  • higher temperatures can be used in the etching process retaining the strong adhesion between the plastic surface and the newly formed metal layer. It is also advantageous and known to those skilled in the art that upon raising the temperature of the etching solution the concentration of the sulphuric acid therein can be decreased making the etching solution both cheaper and safer to use.
  • vanadium compounds any water soluble vanadium compound may be used. Most commonly used are divanadium pentoxide (V 2 0 5 ) and / or alkali vanadates, like e.g. NaV0 3 , KV0 3 .
  • phosphoric acid as an additional acid can be comprised in the etching solution.
  • concentration of the phosphoric acid typically ranges from 10 to 40 vol.%, preferably between 15 and 30 vol.%.
  • the adhesion of the plated metal layer can surprisingly additionally be increased.
  • a mixture of between 60 and 65 vol.% sulphuric acid and 20 and 30 vol.% phosphoric acid is particularly preferred.
  • the etching solution can optionally contain 2 to 20 g/l of additional oxidizer, with the standard oxidising potential exceeding that of the chlorate ions.
  • additional oxidizers are preferentially periodate sources, like e.g. sodium periodate.
  • the chlorate, the vanadium compound and sulphuric acid form a yellow compound, the normal oxidising potential of which in the H 2 S0 4 solution medium is sufficient for the reaction with the plastic surface at room temperature. Due to this reaction, the plastic surface becomes hydrophilic and adsorbs the palladium compounds with sufficient strength.
  • the yellow colour product of the reaction between chlorate and the sulphuric acid is a poison for palladium catalyst. During etching, it penetrates the surface layers of the rack's plastisol insulation and prevents electroless metal deposition on plastisol in the electroless metallisation solutions; the metallization process taking place on the nonconductive plastic surface is not affected.
  • the etching solution can be prepared as follows:
  • the concentrated sulphuric acid is mixed with deionised water.
  • the solution is left to cool down.
  • the chlorate ion source, the vanadium compound and optionally a second oxidizer are dissolved in the solution.
  • the etching solution is ready for use.
  • the quantity of water used for the preparation of the etching solution exceeds 50% by volume compared with the sulphuric acid, no yellow plastic-oxidising compound is formed between the chlorate ions, the vanadium compound and the sulphuric acid molecules, therefore, the water content of the solution preferably should not exceed 50% by volume.
  • the etching process takes longer than 15 min., therefore, such concentration is not acceptable.
  • the concentration of the vanadium compound exceeds 8.0 g/l, the adhesion begins to deteriorate and, thus, should not be increased any further.
  • the concentration of the vanadium compound exceeds 8.0 g/l, the adhesion begins to deteriorate and, thus, should not be increased any further.
  • the concentration of the vanadium compound below 0.1 g/l, the adhesion is being impaired and, therefore, should be kept higher.
  • the inventive etching solution preferably does not contain any chromium or chromium compounds; the etching solution contains neither chromium(lll) ions nor chromium(VI) ions.
  • the inventive etching solution is thus free of chromium or chromium compounds; the etching solution is free of chromium(lll) ions and chromium(VI) ions.
  • the etching solution comprises at least a source of chlorate ions, sulphuric acid and a vanadium compound.
  • concentrations and procedures given for the inventive etching solution stated above apply for this purpose described hereinafter as well.
  • An important distinctive feature of the proposed method that makes it different from the state of the art is that it allows for good adhesions of plastic surface and deposited metal layer to be obtained at elevated temperatures.
  • Another beneficial aspect of the invention lies in the removal of fats and oils which are often present on plastic surfaces from prior processing steps and, thus, making the etching process even more effective.
  • etching of the plastic surface in the application as the method of treatment of the plastic surface prior to its electroless metallization consisting of the etching of the plastic by means of an inorganic acid solution with an oxidizer, activation by the palladium salt solution, and treatment by either reducing or accelerating solution.
