Abstract

Provided is an adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil, comprising an adhesion assisting agent layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 10 μm on a metal whose surface has a ten-point average roughness Rz of 2.0 μm or less, wherein the adhesion assisting agent layer is formed from an adhesion assisting agent composition comprising: (A) an epoxy resin selected from the group consisting of a novolak epoxy resin and an aralkyl epoxy resin; and (C) an epoxy resin curing agent.

Claims (29)

1. An adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil, comprising an adhesion assisting agent layer having a thickness of 0.1 to 10 μm on a metal whose surface has a ten-point average roughness Rz of 2.0 μm or less,

4. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the component (B) is selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl acetal resin and a carboxylic acid modified polyvinyl acetal resin.

5. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the component (B) is from 0.5 to 25 parts by weight for 100 parts by weight of the component (A).

6. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the component (C) is a phenol novolak resin.

7. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the component (C) is a triazine-ring-containing phenol novolak resin.

8. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the metal is not subjected to any roughening treatment for promoting adhesive force.

9. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the metal is copper foil subjected to rust preventing treatment with at least one selected from zinc, chromium, nickel and oxide thereof.

10. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the surface of the metal is subjected to silane coupling treatment.

11. A printed-wiring board produced by use of the metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the peeling strength between the adhesion assisting agent layer adhering to an insulating layer and an electroconductive circuit is 0.6 kN/m or more at 20° C.

12. A printed-wiring board having any one of a through hole structure and an interstitial via hole structure, which is produced by use of the adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , a first plating being formed by electroless copper plating when the through hole structure or the interstitial via hole structure is formed.

13. The adhesion assisting agent fitted metal foil according to claim 1 , wherein the component (C) comprises an aralkyl resin having a phenolic hydroxyl group.
