Product information "Brass Effect Mixer"

Brass Effect Mixer BMG-065M – Electroplating Additive for Brass-Like Finishes

Short Description:
The Brass Effect Mixer BMG-065M is a specialized electroplating additive designed to create brass-like color tones when mixed with a gold electrolyte. By adding this mixer to a standard gold solution, the deposited layer takes on the appearance of classic brass, making it ideal for decorative and functional surface finishes.


What is the Brass Effect Mixer?

The Brass Effect Mixer is a color-modifying additive that is mixed with a gold electrolyte (such as clear gold or gold flash). It alters the color of the deposited metal layer to resemble traditional brass alloys. Depending on the mixing ratio, the resulting shade can range from classic brass to lighter brass tones.


What is it used for?

  • Creating brass-like finishes during gold electroplating

  • Mixing with standard gold electrolytes

  • Fine adjustment of color tones for decorative applications

  • Suitable for workshop, laboratory, and small-scale industrial use


Application & Mixing Ratio

  • Standard mixture (1:10):
    Produces a color similar to polished 70/30 brass alloy (approx. 14 K brass appearance).

  • Lighter tone (1.5:10):
    Higher mixer ratios result in a lighter brass shade.

  • Color tuning:
    The exact brass tone can be precisely adjusted by varying the mixing ratio.

Recommended electrodes:

  • Graphite electrode – reliable and cost-effective

  • Platinum electrode – for very uniform and refined coatings


Technical Information

  • Deposition rate: approx. 2.6 µm/min (1:10 ratio, 3 V, graphite electrode)

  • Operating temperature: approx. 20–25 °C

  • Shelf life: up to 6 months under normal storage conditions

  • Hazard information: Product is irritating – follow safety instructions


Key Benefits

  • Enables authentic brass-like finishes using a gold electrolyte

  • Flexible color control through adjustable mixing ratios

  • Compatible with commonly used gold plating solutions

  • Ideal for decorative metal finishes and surface restoration


Safety Notes

  • Wear protective gloves and safety goggles during use

  • Ensure adequate ventilation

  • Avoid direct skin contact

  • Follow all safety and handling instructions provided with the product documentation


Conclusion

The Brass Effect Mixer BMG-065M is a professional electroplating additive for producing brass-colored coatings from a gold electrolyte. With simple mixing and precise ratio control, it allows the creation of a wide range of brass tones – from classic polished brass to lighter variations – making it a versatile solution for decorative electroplating applications.

Anode sleeve fuzzy

Anode pad / tampon / anode sleeve / fuzzy sleeve / replacement fabric pad puffy from Betzmann Galvanik.    This puffy fabric pad / anode sleeve or also called tampon is absolutely recommended for all plating processes. Optimally suitable for all coatings and electrolytes.  The coating of larger areas is also quite fast with this pad.   The insertion hole is larger than the electrode and therefore it happens that the moist  anode pad slips off. Therefore, fix the pad on the electrode with a small rubber band.
