Patent ID: 8633270

Claim:
A dispersion for the application of a metal layer on a non-electrically-conductive substrate, comprising an organic binder component A, a metal component B, and a solvent component C, wherein the organic binder component A consists essentially of A1 a polyvinyl chloride copolymer having hydroxy groups and A2 a polyurethane having hydroxy groups, and wherein the oxidation state of the metal is 0, wherein the surface of the metal can have a coating, and wherein the metal component B comprises B1 from 0.01 to 99.99% by weight, based on the total weight of metal component B, of a first metal with a first metal particle shape, and B2 from 99.99 to 0.01% by weight, based on the total weight of metal component B, of a second metal with a second metal particle shape; where there is compliance with at least one of the following conditions: (1) the first and second metal are different (2) the first and second particle shape are different.
