Abstract
Abstract In a process for treating the surface of metal objects the surface is heated in the presence of (i) an amine compound having at least one functionally substituted group and (ii) at least one 1,2-dihydroxy benzene derivative providing and electrically conductive and oxidation resistant metal surface. The metal objects include metal particles constituting a metal powder which after treatment is storable and directly usable in electronics applications.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
139 words
A composition for treating the surfaces of metal objects coated with surface layers of non conductive metal compounds to render said surfaces conductive and oxidation resistant, said metal being selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cobalt, silver and palladium, said composition consisting essentially of (i) from 0.01 to 20 wt. % of an organic amine compound having an amine nitrogen atom which forms the amine and having at least one group carrying a functional substituent having coordinative capacity towards atoms of the metal, the amine nitrogen atom and the functional substituent being separated by from two to six other atoms along the interconnecting chain of said amine compound; (ii) from 0.01 to 20 wt. % of at least one phenolic compound selected from the group of 1,2-di-hydroxy benzene and its ring-substituted derivatives; (iii) and balance ethylene glycol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
139 words
A composition for treating the surfaces of metal objects coated with surface layers of non conductive metal compounds to render said surfaces conductive and oxidation resistant, said metal being selected from the group consisting of copper, nickel, cobalt, silver and palladium, said composition consisting essentially of (i) from 0.01 to 20 wt. % of an organic amine compound having an amine nitrogen atom which forms the amine and having at least one group carrying a functional substituent having coordinative capacity towards atoms of the metal, the amine nitrogen atom and the functional substituent being separated by from two to six other atoms along the interconnecting chain of said amine compound; (ii) from 0.01 to 20 wt. % of at least one phenolic compound selected from the group of 1,2-di-hydroxy benzene and its ring-substituted derivatives; (iii) and balance ethylene glycol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
