Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm – Universal Electrode for Professional ElectroplatingChemically Inert Graphite Electrode for Tank, Pen and Brush PlatingThe Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm is manufactured from high-quality, high-density fine-grain graphite and is ideal for a wide range of electroplating applications. It is used wherever a metal-free, chemically inert electrical conductor is required and contamination of the electrolyte by metal ions must be avoided.Thanks to its excellent chemical resistance, graphite dissolves only very slowly in the electrolyte. This keeps the electrolyte composition stable and ensures high-quality, uniform plating results.The graphite electrode is perfectly suited for tank plating, pen plating and brush (tampon) plating and is compatible with a wide variety of electroplating solutions.Your AdvantagesManufactured from high-quality fine-grain graphiteChemically inertVery low wearNo contamination of the electrolyte with metal ionsExcellent chemical resistanceUniform current distributionSuitable for a wide range of electroplating processesLong service lifeFits standard 6 mm electrode holdersProfessional quality from Betzmann GalvanikWhy Use a Graphite Electrode?Many electroplating processes require that no additional metal ions enter the electrolyte, as these can negatively affect coating quality.Graphite offers several important advantages:Chemically almost inertVery low solubilityExcellent temperature resistanceGood electrical conductivityNo contamination of the electrolyteThese properties make graphite the preferred choice for many decorative and technical plating applications.Typical ApplicationsIdeal for:Gold platingSilver platingChromium platingPalladium platingPlatinum platingWhite bronze platingBlack nickel platingTank platingPen platingBrush (tampon) platingActivating solutionsCleaning solutionsWorkshopsLaboratoriesIndustrial applicationsRestorationModel makingMaterial PropertiesThe electrode is manufactured from high-density fine-grain graphite and offers:Excellent chemical resistanceGood electrical conductivityLow wearSlow consumption in the electrolyteLong service lifeApplication InstructionsBefore use:Keep the electrode clean and free from greaseUse a suitable electrolyteFollow the recommended voltage and current settingsDuring operation, the graphite electrode wears only slowly.

Gold Electrolyte 4 g/L – Gold Plating Solution Without Free CyanidesHigh-quality, ready-to-use Gold Electrolyte with 4 g/L gold for professional and decorative electroplating applications. The electrolyte is suitable for bath plating, tampon plating and pen plating and provides a high-quality, uniform gold deposit when the workpiece is properly pre-treated.Your Advantages at a Glance✓ 4 g/L gold – high-quality gold deposition✓ No free cyanides✓ Ready to use – no complicated mixing required✓ Suitable for bath, tampon and pen plating✓ Can be processed with graphite or platinum electrodes✓ Ideal for bath plating with platinum mesh / platinum plating mesh✓ Suitable for professional and private users✓ Good adhesion with proper pre-treatment✓ Uniform and attractive gold coating✓ Ideal for jewellery, watches, vehicle parts and technical components✓ Excellent for repair and touch-up plating✓ Available in sizes from 50 ml to 5 litresGold ElectroplatingThe 4 g/L Gold Electrolyte can be used to electroplate suitable metal surfaces with a high-quality gold coating. Depending on the application, the electrolyte can be used for bath plating, tampon plating or pen plating.For bath plating, either a graphite electrode or platinum electrode can be used. A platinum mesh / platinum plating mesh is particularly suitable as an anode because its mesh structure provides a large active surface area.Suitable ElectrodesGraphite Electrode:Suitable for bath plating and various electroplating applications. Graphite provides good electrical conductivity and is chemically resistant to many electrolytes.Platinum Electrode:Suitable for high-quality and demanding electroplating applications. For bath plating, a platinum mesh / platinum plating mesh is particularly recommended as the anode.When using a platinum electrode, ensure that the anode surface area is sufficiently sized and that the workpiece is positioned evenly opposite the anode.Suitable for Bath, Tampon and Pen PlatingBath PlatingFor bath plating, the workpiece is connected to the negative pole (-) of the rectifier and acts as the cathode.A graphite electrode or platinum electrode is connected to the positive pole (+) and acts as the anode.A platinum mesh / platinum plating mesh is particularly suitable for bath plating because the mesh design provides a large anode surface.The anode should be positioned as evenly as possible in relation to the workpiece. This helps achieve a more uniform current distribution and consequently a more uniform gold deposit.Tampon PlatingIdeal for partial gold plating, repairs and touch-up plating directly on the workpiece.Pen PlatingIdeal for small areas, edges, logos, contacts and precise spot plating.Suitable Base MetalsThe electrolyte can be used on a range of suitable metallic surfaces, including:CopperBrassNickelSuitable stainless steel surfacesOther suitably pre-treated metallic surfacesThe quality and adhesion of the gold coating depend greatly on the correct cleaning, degreasing and activation of the base material.For difficult base materials, a suitable intermediate or adhesion layer may be required.No Free CyanidesThe Gold Electrolyte contains no free cyanides and therefore provides an attractive alternative to conventional cyanide-based gold plating baths.Supply and sale are subject to the applicable legal requirements. Always observe the current product labelling and Safety Data Sheet before use.Important: Even an electrolyte without free cyanides is still a chemical product and must be handled according to the specified safety and application instructions.Technical DataGold content: 4 g/LApplications: Bath, tampon and pen platingAnode for bath plating: Graphite or platinumRecommended platinum electrode: Platinum mesh / platinum plating meshCondition: Ready to useTemperature: approx. 20–25 °CpH value: approx. 4–6Conductivity: approx. 10 mS/cmSuitable base materials: Copper, brass, nickel, suitable stainless steel surfacesFree cyanides: NoneShelf life: approx. 12 monthsBath Plating – ApplicationThoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece.Activate the surface according to the base material.Rinse the workpiece thoroughly.Fill a suitable plating tank with the Gold Electrolyte.Connect the workpiece to the negative pole (-) of the rectifier (cathode).Connect the graphite or platinum electrode / platinum mesh to the positive pole (+) (anode).Position the workpiece and anode as evenly as possible.Carry out the gold plating using the appropriate electroplating parameters for the electrolyte.After plating, rinse the workpiece thoroughly and dry carefully.Proper pre-treatment and uniform current distribution are essential for achieving good adhesion, colour, coating quality and durability.Ideal for✓ Jewellery and watches✓ Repair and restoration✓ Vehicle parts and decorative components✓ Technical components✓ Model making✓ Goldsmiths and workshops✓ Electroplating businesses✓ Small production runs✓ Experienced private usersAvailable Sizes50 ml · 100 ml · 250 ml · 500 ml · 1,000 ml · 2,000 ml · 5,000 mlGold Electrolyte 4 g/L – The Easy Solution for High-Quality Gold PlatingReady to use, versatile and free of free cyanides – suitable for bath, tampon and pen plating.For bath plating, the electrolyte can be used with a graphite electrode or platinum electrode, with platinum mesh / platinum plating mesh being particularly suitable as an anode.
