Gelling Agent / Thickener – Additive for Drip-Free Electroplating Solutions and Precise Coatings
Gelling Agent for Electrolytes – Greater Control for Pen Plating, Tampon Plating and Tank Plating
The Gelling Agent / Thickener from Betzmann Galvanik is a specially developed additive for increasing the viscosity of electroplating electrolytes. By adding the thickener, low-viscosity electrolytes are transformed into a gel-like, low-drip consistency. This allows the electrolyte to remain on the workpiece surface for longer, making it easier to achieve precise and controlled plating results.
It is particularly suitable for pen plating, tampon plating, and plating on vertical, inclined or complex-shaped surfaces, where it prevents the electrolyte from running off and significantly reduces solution loss. It is also ideal for selective plating, repair work and localized metal deposition.
Your Advantages at a Glance
Increases the viscosity of electroplating electrolytes
Converts liquid electrolytes into a gel-like consistency
Prevents dripping and running on vertical surfaces
Reduces electrolyte consumption
Enables more precise pen plating and tampon plating
Improves coating uniformity
Ideal for repair plating and selective plating
Easy to mix and use
Compatible with many electroplating electrolytes
Why Use a Gelling Agent?
Most electroplating electrolytes have a relatively low viscosity. On vertical or inclined workpieces, the electrolyte quickly runs off, which can result in:
Uneven coating thickness
Electrolyte loss
Drip marks
Poor coating definition
Increased electrolyte consumption
The gelling agent keeps the electrolyte exactly where it is needed, making the plating process easier while improving coating quality and efficiency.
Typical Applications
The gelling agent is ideal for:
Pen plating
Tampon plating
Selective electroplating
Local gold plating
Repair gold plating
Vertical surface plating
Complex workpiece geometries
Jewellery manufacturing
Restoration work
Model making
Precision engineering
Application
Slowly add the gelling agent to the electrolyte while stirring until the desired consistency is achieved.
Recommended mixing ratio:
Approximately 1 part gelling agent to 10 parts electrolyte
The exact ratio may be adjusted depending on the electrolyte and the desired gel consistency.
After mixing, a homogeneous gel structure should be obtained before use.
Suitable Electrolytes
The gelling agent can be used with many electroplating electrolytes, including:
Gold electrolytes
Silver electrolytes
Nickel electrolytes
Copper electrolytes
Rhodium electrolytes
Many other compatible electroplating solutions
For new electrolyte systems, we recommend testing compatibility before large-scale use.
