Colloidal palladium activation solution is an important component in the process of plating plastic parts, and its role is to promote the uniform deposition of subsequent plating layers by inoculating the plastic surface with catalytically active centers. However, colloidal palladium activation solution is prone to aging during use, which directly affects plating quality and process stability. Understanding the causes of aging and solutions is important for improving the reliability and efficiency of the plating process.

The catalytic performance of palladium is one of the important indicators of palladium activation solutions. In colloidal palladium activation solution, palladium often exists stably in colloidal form. However, palladium particles will gradually aggregate and precipitate in the solution, leading to a decrease in activity, which is one of the main reasons for the aging of colloidal palladium activation solutions. Changes in pH, temperature and impurity concentration in the solution also accelerate the aggregation and precipitation process of palladium colloids.

In order to solve the problem of easy aging of colloidal palladium activator, Bigely Technology has developed PL-5 colloidal palladium activator. This product is an acidic activator, mixed with hydrochloric acid, and is specially designed for plating plastics.The formulation of PL-5 improves the stability of colloidal palladium particles, prolongs their service life, effectively avoids aggregation and precipitation of palladium particles, and maintains the good performance of the activation solution.

In addition, PL-5 is able to form a uniform palladium-tin catalytic active layer during the plating process, ensuring the uniformity and quality of the plated layer before electroless nickel plating. Its good stability and long service life make it widely used in the plating process of plastics, which can improve the plating efficiency and the quality of finished products, while reducing the cost and time of frequent changes of activation solution.
