  • Multi‑layer plating systems, such as copper → nickel → gold

  • Repairs and refinishing of plated parts

The resulting layers are smooth, even, and exhibit excellent luster.


How Gold Plating Works (Simple Explanation)

Gold plating uses direct current (DC) to reduce gold ions from the solution onto the workpiece, forming a metallic gold layer:

  1. Preparation: Clean and degrease the workpiece.

  2. Plating: Connect the workpiece as the cathode and apply voltage.

  3. Deposition: Gold ions reduce and form a bright, uniform gold layer.

  4. Finishing: Rinse, dry, and optionally polish for maximum shine.


Benefits of Clear Gold Electrolyte

  • Very bright, high‑gloss gold finish

  • Uniform, consistent layers

  • Good corrosion and wear resistance

  • Versatile applications from jewelry to technical parts

  • Suitable for bath, pen, and tampon plating

  • Ideal as final or decorative layer in plating processes
