  • plastics polyolefins-polypropylene, polycarbonates, polyesters, styrenics - acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene.
  • ceramics wood, textiles, minerals, plaster or cement articles
  • semiconductors conductors.
  • Electroplating processes are based on an oxidation-reduction reaction using an electric current.
  • the metal is provided in cationic form in an aqueous medium.
  • An electric current is imposed between the substrate that is to be metallized and a counter-electrode.
  • the metal cation is then reduced to the surface of the substrate.
  • One of the major disadvantages of electrolytic deposition is that the substrate that is to be metallized must necessarily be conductive. This type of metallization is therefore not possible for substrates made of polymer, glass, etc.
  • Non-electrolytic metallization processes do not use electric current.
  • the metal is deposited by other means, dry or wet.
  • dry methods include PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) and CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition), which have the major disadvantage of the need to put the substrate under vacuum to perform the metallization.
  • electroless non-electrolytic metallization called "electroless method”.
  • the metal is also provided in cationic form in an aqueous medium.
  • a reducing agent is also present in the medium, as well as generally a complexing agent.
  • the bath is prepared so that although the metal salt and the reducing agent are present together in the bath, the direct oxidation reaction is prevented. This is only possible in the presence of a catalyst. This is why the surface of the substrate that is to be metallized is pretreated with sensitizing and optionally activating agents which will render the surface catalytic. In the presence of the catalytic surface, the metal salts are reduced by direct reaction with the reducing agent present in the medium.
  • This non-electrolytic immersion metallization technique is conventionally used in the surface treatment industry.
  • Deposition baths may be unstable, and the metal salt may precipitate before the introduction of the substrate.
  • the treatment ranges include many stages.
  • JetMetal makes it possible to obtain, on an industrial scale, with little or no polluting, at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure, substrates metallized with a homogeneous and continuous metallic film.
  • additives metal deposit: printing of silver-based ink; temporary masking;
  • direct printed (serigraphy or ink jet) conductive patterns are produced using silver-laden inks.
  • a heat treatment is necessary in order to evacuate the solvent contained in the inks and to obtain a conductive pattern.
  • the electrical conductivity of the patterns thus formed is less than that of a continuous metal film obtained by other metal deposition techniques.
  • Temporary masking consists in applying a mask (adhesives, peelable varnishes, stencils ”) on a surface to be protected in order to prevent the metallization of certain zones; this technique is difficult to apply to obtain complex patterns and requires a mechanical action that is not very compatible with mass production.
  • the base substrate consists of an assembly comprising a copper layer on an epoxy / glass fiber support.
  • the copper is covered with a photoresist (photosoresist) which is insolated through a piece of artwork (printed mask with patterns): this is the step of insolation.
  • the insolated resin is polymerized under the effect of light.
  • a suitable development solution is then used to solubilize the unpolymerized resin.
  • a chemical etching solution is then applied to attack the unprotected copper by the polymerized resin (etching step).
  • the substrate is brought into contact with an extraction solution in order to remove any traces of polymerized resin ("stripping" or "stripping” step). (see Fig. 1 attached).
  • Laser engraving involves using a laser to selectively extract the metal already present on a substrate. Although very accurate this method can be expensive and difficult to implement for extended reasons.
