Abstract
A composition and process are described which are useful in treating metal surfaces, which composition comprises an oxidizer, an acid, a corrosion inhibitor, an organic nitro compound and, optionally, a benzotriazole with an electron withdrawing group in the 1-position which electron withdrawing group is a stronger electron withdrawer than a hydrogen group, optionally, a source of adhesion enhancing species selected from the group consisting of molybdates, tungstates, tantalates, niobates, vanadates, isopoly or heteropoly acids of molybdenum, tungsten, tantalum, niobium, vanadium, and combinations of any of the foregoing and optionally but preferably a source of halide ions. The composition and process are useful in increasing the adhesion of metal surfaces to polymeric substances and in preserving said adhesion through temperature variation.
