Abstract

A copper foil for printed circuits having a rust-preventive and heat-discoloration resistant coat, comprising a first layer of zinc or an alloy or a compound or a composition including zinc mainly, and a second layer including a silane coupling agent and phosphorus or a phosphorus compound, said second layer being positioned on the first layer. A method of producing a copper foil for printed circuits comprising the steps of treating the shiny side of a copper foil in a manner of cathode electrolysis in an alkaline solution including zinc ions and chrome ions, or providing the shiny side of a copper foil with a thin plating layer of zinc or a zinc alloy, and thereafter applying onto the treated surface of the copper foil a solution including a silane coupling agent and phosphorus or a phosphorus compound.
