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

Using a suitable plating unit and pen electrode, individual areas can be coated without immersing the entire workpiece in a plating bath.The specified voltage range is 3–5 volts. The appropriate setting depends on the plating unit, electrode, workpiece surface and operating conditions.Brush Plating ApplicationsIn brush plating, the electrolyte is applied to the prepared workpiece using a suitable applicator or swab saturated with electrolyte. This method allows selective gold plating of larger areas and complex components that cannot be fully immersed in a plating bath.The stated deposition rate of approximately 0.5 µm per minute refers to a test area that remains continuously covered by the plating swab. Actual deposition rates may vary with the surface area, application technique and operating conditions.Tank Plating ApplicationsTank plating is suitable for coating workpieces that can be fully or partially immersed in the electrolyte. It is particularly useful when an entire component or its accessible surfaces need to be plated.Uniform results require suitable surface preparation, appropriate electrode positioning and process parameters adapted to the workpiece. The specified operating temperature is 14–25 °C.Hard Gold with High Deposit HardnessThe specified deposit hardness of 220–230 HV is an important characteristic of this electrolyte. According to the product data, the deposited layer contains 99.9% gold.The term hard gold refers to the product characteristic stated in the manufacturer's specifications. Actual hardness and wear resistance also depend on plating conditions and the structure of the deposited layer.The maximum specified coating thickness is 5 µm. The actual deposition depends on factors such as plating time, power supply, electrode configuration and workpiece geometry.Electrodes and Process NotesPlatinum or carbon electrodes are specified for this electrolyte. Stainless steel anodes are expressly not recommended for most of the intended plating processes.The reference values for deposition rate and cathode efficiency apply at 3.5 volts using a platinum electrode. They should not automatically be applied to other electrode materials or assumed to apply identically to all three plating methods.Storage and Shelf LifeStore the electrolyte protected from direct sunlight. The specified shelf life is one year.Hard Gold Electrolyte from Betzmann GalvanikThe Hard Gold Electrolyte 8 g/L is a versatile solution for pen plating, tank plating and brush plating. The high gold content of the deposited layer and the specified hardness of 220–230 HV make it an interesting option for demanding gold-plating work, decorative surface finishing and targeted replating.Betzmann Galvanik – Electroplating products and solutions for high-quality surface finishing.
