This ensures consistent deposit quality, color stability and structural integrity in your plating applications. With a diameter of 6 mm, it fits standard electrode holders and is suitable for bath, pen and pad plating. Typical Applications Precious metal plating (e.g., gold, silver, palladium, rhodium) Chrome and specialty coatings under challenging conditions Laboratory and precision electroplating R&D and prototyping Use with aggressive or oxidizing electrolytes Key Benefits Outstanding chemical resistance: ideal for aggressive plating baths Minimal contamination: keeps electrolyte and deposits clean High electrical conductivity: supports stable current flow and even coatings Long service life: performs well under frequent use Versatile compatibility: works with standard Ø 6 mm holders Usage Instructions Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece before plating. Setup: Mount the platinum electrode as the anode, connect the workpiece as the cathode. Plating: Operate within recommended voltage and temperature ranges for best results. Maintenance: After extended use, gently clean any buildup to maintain performance. Conclusion The Platinum Electrode Ø 6 mm is a robust, highly reliable solution for demanding electroplating applications requiring chemical resistance, deposit purity and process stability. It is an excellent choice for professionals in workshops, labs and production environments.

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.    

T Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 Additive for Viscosity Control – Converts Electrolytes into Non-Drip Gels Short Description The Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 is a specially developed chemical additive that increases the viscosity of electroplating solutions, transforming them into non-drip, gel-like media. This is particularly useful for vertical surfaces or complex-shaped objects, allowing for precise and controlled application without dripping. Applications The Gel Thickener is used to: Increase the viscosity of electroplating solutions Enable drip-free coating on vertical or inclined surfaces Allow precise application on complex or fine structures Reduce material loss caused by dripping Achieve decorative effects in electroplated finishes Ensure uniform coating thickness without runs or streaks How the Gel Thickener Works (Simple Explanation) Some electrolytes are thin and may drip on vertical or inclined surfaces. The Gel Thickener is added in a defined amount to create a gel-like solution that stays in place: Prepare the electroplating solution as usual. Measure and add the Gel Thickener (e.g., 1 part thickener to 10 parts electrolyte; adjust according to desired viscosity). Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous, gel-like consistency is achieved. Apply or plate as usual – the gel adheres to the surface without dripping. Adjusting the ratio allows you to fine-tune the gel consistency from lightly gelled to strongly gel-like. Benefits of Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 Significantly increased viscosity for precise, drip-free application Controlled, accurate coating on difficult shapes Reduces material waste due to dripping Ensures uniform layer distribution Easy to dose and use Compatible with various electroplating solutions Technical Parameters (Guideline Values) PropertyValue / RangeProduct typeGel thickener / viscosity additiveUseIncreases viscosity of electroplating solutionsMixing ratio*approx. 1:10 (thickener : electrolyte)ConsistencyFrom lightly gelled to strongly gel-likeTemperatureRoom temperatureStorageCool, dry, tightly closedCompatibilityWith standard electroplating solutionsSafetyChemical additive – use protective measures * Optimal ratio depends on the solution, desired gel strength, and application; testing is recommended. Practical Application Instructions Preparation: Prepare the electroplating solution as usual. Dosage: Slowly add the Gel Thickener to the solution in small increments. Adjust according to the desired viscosity. Mixing: Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous gel is obtained. Let rest briefly to remove air bubbles. Application: Apply the gel to vertical or complex surfaces without dripping. After plating, rinse the parts with clean water and dry carefully. Polishing may enhance the finish. Safety Instructions Wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate 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 of according to local chemical regulations Conclusion The Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 is an effective, easy-to-use additive that converts electroplating solutions into non-drip, gel-like media, enabling precise and controlled coatings on vertical, inclined, or complex surfaces. Its flexibility and ease of use make it an invaluable tool for hobbyists, workshops, and professional electroplaters seeking clean, uniform, and drip-free results.
