Process for improving the adhesion of electrolessly deposited metal coatings

摘要

Metal coatings deposited by an electroless process and having improved adhesion can be achieved by the surface of the substrates to be metallised being coated with a formulation which consists of UV-curable coatings which contain noble-metal compounds as activators and, in addition, either fillers or solvents or a combination of fillers and solvents, fully curing these coatings by UV radiation and then metallising the substrates thus treated by an electroless process.
