Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of surface treatment, classified under C23C22 / 02, and specifically to a silver protective agent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Silver plating possesses excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, solderability, stability, and adhesion, making it widely used in communication, electronic, and electrical products. However, when silver plating is exposed to air and comes into contact with sulfur-containing substances, sulfur oxides, halides, etc., it easily forms insoluble substances such as silver halides, silver sulfate, and silver sulfides. This causes the silver plating to discolor into black or dark brown hues, affecting not only its appearance but also reducing its electrical, thermal, and solderability properties.

[0003] Most silver protectants currently on the market are water-soluble. The silver-plated devices prepared with them can generally only remain unchanged for about 1-4 minutes in 5% potassium sulfide. Furthermore, after half a month of storage, the resistance to discoloration is significantly reduced, limiting their application in the field of electronic components where the resistance to discoloration is extremely important. Therefore, this invention proposes a silver protectant that can effectively prevent oxidation / sulfidation discoloration of the silver plating layer, while maintaining high stability and not affecting the contact resistance and solderability of the silver layer.

[0004] Chinese patent CN102766871A discloses a silver plating anti-discoloration protective agent composition, which is a composition made of octadecyl mercaptan, benzoazole rust inhibitor, solvent and solubilizer. When applied to workpieces, it has an anti-sulfurization ability of up to 10 minutes, but the stability of the composition has not been tested.

[0005] Chinese patent CN108193209A discloses a highly stable water-based silver plating protectant and its preparation method. The silver protectant, made of octadecyl mercaptan, emulsifier, stabilizer, graphene and other substances, can maintain the potassium sulfide resistance of electronic products for more than 12 minutes. However, after one day, the potassium sulfide resistance drops to 10 minutes, and its stability needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0013] More preferably, the weight ratio between the alkyl thiol and the organic corrosion inhibitor is 21:4.5.

[0014] More preferably, the alkyl thiol is octadecyl thiol.

[0015] Preferably, the organic corrosion inhibitor is benzotriazole and 2-hydroxybenzothiazole in a weight ratio of (1-3):(2-5).

[0016] More preferably, the organic corrosion inhibitor is benzotriazole and 2-hydroxybenzothiazole, with a weight ratio of (2-3):(2-4).

[0017] More preferably, the organic corrosion inhibitor is benzotriazole and 2-hydroxybenzothiazole in a weight ratio of 2:2.5.

[0018] Preferably, the surfactant is a quaternary ammonium-based cationic surfactant or a polyoxyethylene-type nonionic surfactant.

[0019] More preferably, the quaternary ammonium-based cationic surfactant is dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, and the polyoxyethylene nonionic surfactant includes at least one of lauryl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, isotretinoin polyoxyethylene ether, octylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether.

[0028] The second aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a silver protectant, comprising the following steps: first, placing a surfactant in a liquid mixer, and adding alkyl thiols, organic corrosion inhibitors, phosphine-containing compounds, film-forming agents, and ether solvents at 800-900 rpm / min, and continuing to stir for 20-25 min to obtain the silver protectant.

[0029] The present invention also provides a method for using a silver protectant, comprising the following steps: adding a certain volume of water to a working tank, heating to 55-85°C, then adding 10-100 mL / L of silver protectant and stirring, then continuing to add water and stirring, then cooling to 50-60°C to obtain a protective solution, immersing the silver-plated device in the protective solution for 0.5-5 minutes, cleaning, and drying.

[0030] A third aspect of this invention provides the application of a silver protective agent in electronic components.

[0031] This application specifies that when the weight ratio of octadecyl mercaptan and the organic corrosion inhibitor is (18-22):(2-5), and the weight ratio of benzotriazole and 2-hydroxybenzothiazole is (1-3):(2-5), the two interact to form a thin silver complex film on the silver surface, which hinders the reaction of silver ions with sulfur components in the environment and improves its anti-discoloration ability. On this basis, 7 parts by weight of oleylsarcosine are added. The three work together, and the polar groups of oleylsarcosine form a chemical adsorption with the metal surface, making... The film is denser, and the nonpolar groups are oriented away from the metal surface to form a dense hydrophobic protective layer, which further improves the anti-discoloration ability. However, excessive addition of oleoyl sarcosine may affect its stability. In order to maximize its anti-discoloration ability while ensuring its stability, dodecyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether are added, and the weight ratio of the two is limited to (0.5-1.5):(38-41), so that its anti-discoloration ability is still excellent after 2 months.

[0032] Beneficial effects: The silver protective agent prepared by this invention effectively prevents the silver plating layer from undergoing sulfidation and discoloration. Even after two months of storage, the protective agent still exhibits excellent anti-discoloration ability and does not change the contact resistance and solderability of the silver plating layer. It can be applied to the field of electronic components where anti-discoloration ability is extremely important, solving the problem of low stability of silver protective agents in the prior art. In addition, the method of this invention is simple and easy to operate, and the formed protective layer is non-toxic and non-irritating, greatly improving its safety and environmental friendliness.
