Features
Benefits
Made from pure copper, it dissolves in the plating solution
The copper in the electrode replaces the copper from the plating solution, so you can save between 40% and 50% on the cost of solution. It can also save you time as once you’ve dipped your swab in the plating solution, you don’t have to keep dipping it back – the copper from the electrode gets plated instead. If you intend to rely on this, we recommend you mix our Thickener with the Copper Plating Solution to make sure the swab doesn’t dry out and electrical contact is maintained.
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.
The perfect storage cup for electrode and cloth pad transparent with black lid
Large storage beaker - Betzmann Galvanik
This stable beaker with screw cap made of PET holds approx. 370 ml.
It is practical for storing the electrode with the fabric pad in the respective electrolyte.
On request, you will receive the appropriate labeling for the material to be stored.

Bright copper electrolyte - copper electrolyte acidic
Acid copper electrolyte for bright coatings.
Our Betzmann Galvanik bright copper electrolyte convinces by a high deposition rate and a bright copper layer. Subsequent polishing of the polishable copper layer is not necessary. Further characteristics of electroplated copper from our product range are the good levelling properties as well as an excellent scattering. This also applies to the ductility of the product, making the copper electrolyte primarily suitable for thin coatings and multilayer processes.
The bright copper electrolyte has been developed for all electroplating processes from bath plating to pen plating / pad plating. The acidic copper always delivers high quality results regardless of the electroplating process used.
Areas of application of electroplated copper
Electroplated copper plating is often the basis of corrosion protection systems. Here, the copper layer deposited from the copper electrolyte combined with a nickel or chromium coating forms the basic layer of a durable multilayer protection. In combination with brass, copper serves as a functional intermediate layer.
Electroplated copper increases the corrosion resistance of surfaces.
galvanic copper plating improves thermal and electrical conductivity.
Copper-plated surfaces serve aesthetic purposes and are used as design elements in interior design, but also in exterior applications.
Layer build-up in the context of silver plating and gilding of objects.
The very good levelling properties of copper electrolyte reduce the polishing costs of metals. Furthermore, it has a very good polishability.
Gold and silver plating benefit from the layer structure. In this case, bright copper forms the lowest layer, to which a nickel layer is applied before the final gilding or silvering. The nickel layer serves as a diffusion barrier layer, otherwise the copper would diffuse into the gold and turn reddish.
Copper electrolyte for which materials
Alkaline copper electrolyte and copper acid are suitable for a variety of different materials. However, please differentiate precisely between acid-sensitive and acid-resistant materials. Acid-resistant materials such as nickel, copper, brass or bronze can be electroplated with copper acidic in the first step. Acid-sensitive materials such as zinc or iron require pretreatment with alkaline copper electrolyte. Only then is galvanic copper plating with bright copper electrolyte in the form of copper acidic possible.
Surfaces of aluminum, chrome, zinc, tin or titanium are unsuitable for direct acid copper plating.
How to achieve optimum results
You use the high-quality bright copper for bath plating and pen plating / pad plating. It provides optimum results in every process, provided that the following parameters are taken into account:
Bath electroplating: 0.3-2V (approx. 0.8-1.2V recommended at 10cm distance).
pin electroplating: 1,2-4,5V (approx. 3V recommended)
Current density: 0.6-4.2A/dm² (up to 7A/dm² with bath movement)
Working temperature: 15-60°C
deposition rate: approx.1.5µm/min at 3A/dm² and 20°C
ph-value: 1
Use graphite or copper anodes as anodes.
Correct application for high-quality results
Prior to electroplating, whether bath or pen plating, clean the workpiece with utmost care, e.g. by thoroughly degreasing it with alcohol. Use disposable gloves to avoid transferring skin grease to the surfaces. Contamination caused by rust must be completely removed. In case of pen plating, make sure that the tampon is always in motion.
You can either heat the bright copper to the recommended temperatures or use the electrolytic copper at room temperature.
Copper plating should only be carried out in well-ventilated rooms and the vapours and aerosols produced should not be inhaled.

Conductive copper lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik Real Gold
Copper conductive lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik
Product information copper conductive lacquer
Article description:
The copper conductive lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik at a glance:
50 or 200 ml copper conductive lacquer for electroplating
for airbrush and brush
non-conductive objects can be made conductive
plants and natural objects can be electroplated
easy and filigree application possible
With the copper-based Galvano conductive lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik, you can coat works of art and gifts made of glass, ceramics, plastic and many other materials with a shiny layer of metal even in a short time. Perfect as an exclusive gift or for your own showcase! Also very suitable as a decorative varnish due to the strong gloss effect.
Simply apply the copper conductive lacquer thinly with a brush on the cleaned surface. The copper conductive lacquer dries smudge-proof within 10 to 15 minutes and thus allows a quick processing of the workpieces. Complete drying for optimum hold on stressed surfaces takes approximately 12 - 36 hours at room temperature. The varnish can be thinned with butyl acetate or isopropanol. The next step is to connect the item with a wire and copperplate it in the acidic bright copper electrolyte from our store. A robust layer of copper will then be deposited. In the last step you can still nickel, silver and also gold or chrome plating the copper!
Due to its lower price and high electrical and thermal conductivity, the copper conductive lacquer is thus the perfect alternative to silver conductive lacquer. Please note that copper plating must be carried out in the acidic copper electrolyte in the first step, as this activates the conductive lacquer. After copper plating, the metal layer is abrasion-resistant.
Suitable materials: plastic, glass, ceramics, plants, wood and many other electrically non-conductive materials.
Drying time: 5-15 minutes (smudge-proof), 1-3 days (complete for maximum demands)
20 mL is enough for an area of up to one square meter - so very productive!

Our copper electrolyte alkaline for acid-sensitive metals is cyanide-free!
Ideal for bath and tampon - / pin electroplating suitable
50 grams copper / liter
For use on iron and zinc metals
Easy to use and cyanide free
Ideally suited to copperplate even acid-sensitive materials (iron, zinc or steel). For example, copper plating can also be applied to materials that are attacked by the acidic copper electrolyte - for example, rusting steels or other ferrous materials. Copper plating effectively protects workpieces made of iron and steel against rust and gives them an attractive surface thanks to the typical red luster of the precious metal. Because of its good solderability, electroplated copper plating is ideal for the production of printed circuit boards or similar. Simply use the copper electrolyte together with a copper sheet as anode and you can quickly provide a component with a shiny copper coating yourself. The exact instructions for use can be found in our guide here in the download area!
For copper plating of non-acid sensitive materials please use the Betzmann Electroplating Bright Copper Electrolyte.
Alkaline copper electrolyte can be used in bath electroplating as well as in pin electroplating/tampon electroplating. Since it enables electroplating of acid-sensitive metals, it is suitable for many applications. Important properties of alkaline copper electrolyte are excellent leveling and good scattering. This color tone can be further enhanced by an additional coating with our bright copper electrolyte.
Applications for Copper Electrolyte Alkaline
Copper Alkaline prepares acid-sensitive materials for copper plating with acidic copper electrolyte. These include, for example, various ferrous materials or zinc.
A particular advantage is that it does not deposit electrolessly on iron, which would form a loose coating before electrodeposition begins. This increases adhesion to ferrous materials.
Basic copper electrolyte serves as an intermediate layer for acid-sensitive metals before final plating with acid electrolytic copper or other coatings.
Basic copper electrolyte is suitable for the following metals:
Lead, bronze, iron, copper, brass, zinc, tin, steel, zinc die casting and many others.
Basic copper is not suitable for aluminum, chromium and titanium. Aluminum requires pretreatment with aluminum activator
Please test all other metals not mentioned above for their suitability for electroplating before copper plating.
Application instructions for copper electrolyte alkaline
Copper Electrolyte Alkaline is suitable for all electroplating processes from bath electroplating to pin electroplating / pad electroplating. It already works at room temperature; however, it can be heated if necessary. The ideal temperature range is between 25 - 50°C.
Clean the workpiece thoroughly before treatment. Please remove dirt and rust with appropriate tools.

Copper electrolyte alkaline / basic for acid sensitive materials
The copper gives a beautiful shiny finish. It can still be used with our Bronze-
Mixer can be used to mix different color shades from red gloss to white bronze
to be able. White bronze is increasingly desired and used as a nickel substitute.
Copper electrolyte alkaline for acid sensitive metals
Copper electrolyte alkaline (basic) can be used in both bath electroplating and pen plating / tampon plating. Our alkaline copper electrolyte contains no cyanides.
Since it enables electroplating of acid-sensitive metals, it is suitable for many applications. The important properties of alkaline copper electrolyte are excellent levelling and good dispersion. In addition, alkaline or basic copper impresses with an intensive and visually attractive color tone. An additional coating with our bright copper electrolyte can further enhance this color tone.
Application areas for copper electrolyte alkaline
Copper alkaline prepares acid-sensitive materials for copper plating with acid copper electrolyte. These include various ferrous materials or zinc.
A particular advantage is that it does not deposit on iron without current, which would form a loose coating before galvanic deposition begins. This increases the adhesion on ferrous materials.
Basic copper electrolyte serves as an intermediate layer for acid-sensitive metals before the final coating with acid electrolytic copper or other coatings.
Basic copper electrolyte is suitable for the following metals:
Lead, bronze, iron, copper, brass, zinc, tin, steel, zinc die-cast and many others
