Colloidal palladium activator ; Pretreatment of electroless plating on plastics
FI-BPA1
FI-BPA1 is a colloidal palladium activator suitable for ABS direct electroplating and ABS / PC plastic electroless plating. It has high activity. Matched with electroless nickel plating, the palladium content used in the activation solution is very low (10-25mg / L) and the consumption is small. FI-BPA1 activator can form a uniform activation center on the plastic surface. The workpiece shall be directly put into the activation solution after pre immersion.
