DRY SENSITIZATION PLASTIC POWDER FOR ELECTROLESS METAL DEPOSITION

摘要

A powder for use in dry sensitization for electroless metal deposition, comprising finely divided particles of plastics material incorporating a sensitizing compound and a surfactant in amounts of 0.1 to 10% w/w and 0.01 to 10% w/w respectively, which powder upon melting down on a substrate results in a well-defined metallization edge after subsequent electroless metallization.
