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:

  1. Cleaning: Remove grease and contaminants from the workpiece.

  2. Pre‑treatment: Activate or remove unwanted surface layers.

  3. Base Coating: Apply a nickel layer to promote adhesion.

  4. 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


Benefits of the Electrolyte Set ES‑1.1

  • Comprehensive starter kit with all essential electrolytes

  • Ready to use — ideal for beginners and advanced users

  • Versatile application in bath, pen, or pad electroplating

  • Saves time and cost compared to purchasing individual products

  • Covers a broad range of processes from cleaning to gold plating real-gold.de


Safety Instructions

Electrolytes contain active chemicals and should be handled safely:

  • Wear protective gloves, goggles, and suitable clothing

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes

  • Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs

  • Use in well‑ventilated areas

  • Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children

  • Dispose according to local chemical waste regulations


Conclusion

The Electrolyte Set ES‑1.1 is a thoughtfully assembled starter kit with the five key electrolytes for core electroplating tasks — from surface preparation to decorative gold plating. It is perfect for users who want to achieve professional results efficiently and reliably. real-gold.de
