PRETREATING AGENT FOR ELECTROLESS PLATING, METHOD OF ELECTROLESS PLATING USING THE SAME AND PRODUCT OF ELECTROLESS PLATING

摘要

A pretreating agent for electroless plating that is soluble in organic solvents and is stable; a method of electroless plating realizing excellent adhesion wherein use is made of the pretreating agent; and a product of electroless plating. Plating object is pretreated with a pretreating agent for electroless plating, comprising a noble metal soap of C5-C25 fatty acid, preferably further comprising a silane coupling agent with metal trapping capability, such as an imidazole silane coupling agent, and subjected to electroless plating. Palladium soap is preferably used as the noble metal soap.
