Perform plating through chemical reactions without using electricity.
Electroless plating refers to a plating method that deposits metal ions from the plating solution onto the surface of a material through a chemical reaction without using a direct current power supply.
Advantages of electroless plating:
- High uniformity of film thickness can be achieved simply by immersing the material in the plating solution.
- Plating is possible on non-conductors such as plastics and ceramics.
- Large quantities can be processed at once.
At Daiwa Kasei, we offer the following lineup of electroless silver plating solutions.
<Electroless Silver Plating>
【Replacement Type】Dain Silver EL Process
- Good adhesion of silver plating is possible on copper or electroless nickel-phosphorus.
- It is an acidic plating solution, making it ideal for surface treatment of resist substrates.
- The bath life is long, exceeding 3 turns, and it has excellent stability over time.
【Reduction Type】Dain Silver RD Process
- Silver plating is possible on non-conductors (resins, glass, etc.) that have been treated with a catalyst.
- A silver plating film of approximately 0.5 to 1 mm can be formed in one hour.
- It can be used at temperatures below 60°C.
