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

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.
Stainless Steel Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG-007) Short Description The Stainless Steel Electrode Ø 6 mm is a versatile plating electrode designed for a wide range of electroplating tasks, especially degassing, activation, dechroming and chrome plating. Suitable for pen, bath and pad electroplating, it delivers consistent current flow and durable performance in your plating setups. Product Description This electrode is made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel with a diameter of 6 mm and a length of approx. 9.5 cm, making it a compact and easy-to-handle tool for many galvanic applications. It is particularly effective for: Degreasing and activating metal surfaces prior to plating Dechroming or preparing surfaces for subsequent layers Chrome plating processes where robust anode performance is needed Pre-treatment and cleaning steps during electrochemical work It fits standard holders and electrode grips used in pen and tampon plating and provides reliable performance in repeated or continuous use. Key Benefits Durable stainless steel construction: Offers good chemical resistance and long service life. Broad compatibility: Well-suited for degreasing, activation and dechroming operations. Effective for chrome plating: Works particularly well in chromic electroplating applications. Standard size: Ø 6 mm fits most electrode handles and plating tools. Easy to use: Ergonomic size and reliable conductivity promote smooth workflows. Usage Tips Clean and degrease surfaces before using the electrode for best results. In plating processes such as gold or silver, consider using a graphite or platinum electrode instead, as stainless steel may contaminate some plating baths. For chrome plating, stainless steel may be used effectively, sometimes in combination with aluminium electrodes. Conclusion The Stainless Steel Electrode Ø 6 mm is a reliable, robust and versatile tool for a variety of electroplating and surface preparation tasks – especially degreasing, activation and chrome plating. Its solid construction and compatibility with standard plating systems make it a valuable addition to any workshop or lab.
