Abstract
A water-based surface treatment agent is used to provide a chemical layer on a copper or copper alloy printing wiring board (PWB). The chemical layer shows excellent heat-resistance and moisture-resistance. The treated PWB maintains excellent solderability for extended lengths of time. The water-based surface treatment agent contains as an active ingredient 2,4-diphenylimidazole, 2,4-diphenyl-5-methylimidazole or 2-phenyl-4-benzyl-5-methylimidazole. The treating compositions with a lower carboxylic acid of up to 4 carbon atoms are soluble in water, and have improved solder wetting properties and improved solder paste spreading property. A copper compound may be included in the aqueous solution to increase the rate at which the chemical layer is formed.
