An application of a doped tin oxide, used as a chemical plating promoter in a method for selectively metallizing a surface of an insulating substrate is provided. A polymer composition including the doped tin oxide, a polymer molded body, an ink composition and a method for selectively metallizing a surface of an insulating substrate are also provided. The doped tin oxide has a light color, and does not interfere the color of the substrate while presetting thereof. The doped tin oxide has a strong ability of promoting chemical plating; while using it as a chemical plating promoter, a continuous metal layer can be formed with a high plating speed, together with higher adhesive between the metal layer and the insulating substrate. |
