Abstract (en)

Gelatinous noble metal electrolyte for electroplating metal substrates with noble metal layers contains a noble metal salt (I) and a gelling agent (II) in aqueous solution. (I) is free from cyanide and (II) is a hydrophilic organic polymer selected from polysaccharides, polyacrylic acid derivatives or polyethylene glycols. Also claimed is a method of producing the electrolyte by adding (II) to a (I) solution and homogenising until a viscous, gelatinous consistency is obtained.
