Abstract

There is provided a method of treating a copper or copper alloy substrate to provide improved resistance to both oxidation and to chemical attack. The substrate is immersed in an aqueous solution containing both chromium (VI) ion and phosphate ions. The treatment is particularly effective for protecting imaged printed circuit boards during storage, handling and use.
