Abstract

A chemical silvering solution is provided. The chemical silvering solution comprises a silver salt, a complexing agent, a pH conditioner and additives. The additives comprise benzotriazole and polyethylene glycol. The weight ratio of the benzotriazole to the polyethylene glycol is 1:2.5-50. The polyethylene glycol is PEG-1000 or PEG-400. The pH of the chemical silvering solution is 8.2-10.2. A chemical silvering method using the chemical silvering solution is also provided by the invention. Products obtained by using the chemical silvering solution are compact and uniform in appearance, while products obtained by using silvering solutions of the same kind in the market have appearances with protruding and nonuniform particles and even have skip plating in local parts. The chemical silvering solution has a longer time for starting decomposition than the silvering solutions of the same kind in the market and is more stable.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electroless plating, in particular to an electroless silver plating solution and a silver plating method. Background technique [0002] Since silver has good solderability, weather resistance and electrical conductivity, the use of electroless silver plating to protect copper substrates has been widely used in the printed circuit board industry. At present, there are two methods of copper-based electroless silver plating commonly used: 1. Redox chemical silver plating method; 2. Displacement chemical silver plating method. Due to redox silver plating, an additional reducing agent needs to be added, which makes the electroless silver plating solution easily unstable, and when used, it is necessary to carry out corresponding sensitization pretreatment on the metal substrate, and the production cost is high, which hinders its industrial application. Because of its wide application, displacement electroless silver pla...
