A brighter, more uniform deposit of electroless silver is achieved over a wider temperature range by employing as a reducer a compound represented by the general formula: R<2> - (CHR<1>)n - CH2OH where n is two (2) to seven (7), R<2> is represented by the formula COOH or CH2R<1>, each R<1> group is independently selected from the class consisting of OH, NH2, NHCH3, NHC2H5 or NHC3H7 and at least one of the R<1> groups is NH2, NHCH3, NHC2H5 or NHC3H7. Preferred reducers are N-methylglucamine, d-glucamine and glucosaminic acid. |
