METHOD FOR METAL PLATING AND PRE-TREATING AGENT

摘要

The object of the present invention to provide a metal plating method by a simple process, for example, on resins on which plating has been heretofore impossible. The metal plating method comprising surface treating an article to be plated with a liquid prepared by mixing or reacting in advance an organic acid salt of a silane coupling agent containing an azole in a molecule, for example, a coupling agent which is an equimolar reaction product of imidazole and gamma -glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, and a noble metal compound, and then conducting electroless plating thereon.
