Electrolyte Set ES‑1.1
Complete Starter Kit with the Key Electrolytes for Electroplating
Short Description
The Electrolyte Set ES‑1.1 is a comprehensive starter kit that includes five essential electroplating solutions needed for surface cleaning, activation, pre‑treatment, and initial coatings — up to decorative gold plating. It provides all the core solutions in one set to help you begin a wide range of electroplating processes. real-gold.de
Set Contents
This kit contains five essential electrolytes in convenient quantities (e.g., 50 ml, 100 ml, 250 ml, depending on configuration):
-
Degreaser / Electrocleaner: Deep‑cleans surfaces and removes residues such as oils, greases, and silicones.
-
Chrome Remover: Removes chrome layers and exposes underlying surfaces — essential before further plating steps.
-
Activator: Prepares surfaces (e.g. nickel or stainless steel) by removing oxides to improve adhesion.
-
Nickel Electrolyte: Provides a uniform nickel layer that improves adhesion for subsequent coatings.
-
Gold Electrolyte (about 8 g/L): High‑quality gold solution for fast deposition of hard, decorative gold layers. real-gold.de
This set covers the typical flow of many electroplating procedures — from preparation and activation to final decorative plating.
Applications
The Electrolyte Set is ideal for:
-
Hobbyists starting their own plating projects
-
Workshops and training purposes
-
Laboratory and educational settings
-
Beginners in electroplating who want to start without buying individual solutions
-
Demonstrations and classroom experiments
With this collection, you gain a well‑rounded introduction to essential electroplating techniques. real-gold.de
How It Works (Simple Explanation)
Electroplating typically follows these steps:
-
Cleaning: Remove grease and contaminants from the workpiece.
-
Pre‑treatment: Activate or remove unwanted surface layers.
-
Base Coating: Apply a nickel layer to promote adhesion.
-
Decorative Plating: Deposit a gold layer for a bright, durable finish.
Each electrolyte in the set supports one of these steps, enabling smooth sequential processing. real-gold.de
