Using a suitable plating unit and pen electrode, individual areas can be coated without immersing the entire workpiece in a plating bath.The specified voltage range is 3–5 volts. The appropriate setting depends on the plating unit, electrode, workpiece surface and operating conditions.Brush Plating ApplicationsIn brush plating, the electrolyte is applied to the prepared workpiece using a suitable applicator or swab saturated with electrolyte. This method allows selective gold plating of larger areas and complex components that cannot be fully immersed in a plating bath.The stated deposition rate of approximately 0.5 µm per minute refers to a test area that remains continuously covered by the plating swab. Actual deposition rates may vary with the surface area, application technique and operating conditions.Tank Plating ApplicationsTank plating is suitable for coating workpieces that can be fully or partially immersed in the electrolyte. It is particularly useful when an entire component or its accessible surfaces need to be plated.Uniform results require suitable surface preparation, appropriate electrode positioning and process parameters adapted to the workpiece. The specified operating temperature is 14–25 °C.Hard Gold with High Deposit HardnessThe specified deposit hardness of 220–230 HV is an important characteristic of this electrolyte. According to the product data, the deposited layer contains 99.9% gold.The term hard gold refers to the product characteristic stated in the manufacturer's specifications. Actual hardness and wear resistance also depend on plating conditions and the structure of the deposited layer.The maximum specified coating thickness is 5 µm. The actual deposition depends on factors such as plating time, power supply, electrode configuration and workpiece geometry.Electrodes and Process NotesPlatinum or carbon electrodes are specified for this electrolyte. Stainless steel anodes are expressly not recommended for most of the intended plating processes.The reference values for deposition rate and cathode efficiency apply at 3.5 volts using a platinum electrode. They should not automatically be applied to other electrode materials or assumed to apply identically to all three plating methods.Storage and Shelf LifeStore the electrolyte protected from direct sunlight.

The metal care product is used for cleaning and polishing surfaces.    With the metal care almost all types of surfaces (except textiles) can be cleaned, treated and sealed with little effort and completely without water! Metal Care from Betzmann Galvanik does not contain acids or alkalis. It is ph-neutral and slowly biodegradable. It is even machine applicable by means of an eccentric polishing machine.      Some examples of use:  Car, boat, motorcycle, bicycle, kitchen, bathroom, ceramics, glass, leather, imitation leather, amarture board, plastic, camper, stainless steel, chrome, glass panes, TV, monitors, glasses, helmets, tiles, mirrors, shoe sole sides,  cell phone displays, store counters, high-gloss fronts, foiling (matt/glossy), advertising and company signs, solar systems, solariums, whirlpools, pools, rims, ovens, acrylic glass, ceramic hobs, CNC machines, chrome fixtures in the bathroom and much more.      Application:  Shake bottle briefly before use. Apply the metal care to the object to be treated and distribute/massage.  Then polish or wipe the lotion away with a clean microfiber cloth.  It can be applied by hand or by machine. For machine application, the care product can be used like a normal polish. For this purpose, apply the agent to the machine polishing attachment and process with gentle pressure. Then polish or wipe off the lotion with a clean microfiber cloth. or wipe clean. Due to its additional cleaning function, the metal care replaces a large number of polishes for automotive reconditioners. Smooth surfaces appear  after the application in their original shine and are sealed (Lotus effect). Dull lacquers are beautifully matt again after application and dirt and grease residues are grease residues are removed. Glass panes become streak-free clean after application and less susceptible to soiling (sealed).  With each new or further application, the protective film/sealing is further built up and the pores in the surface are closed. The product does not contain chalk or wax ingredients like common polishes. Thus also plastics can be polished effortlessly and appear again in the old shine (no white stripes or residues on plastic). The sealing usually lasts between 2-8 weeks (depending on the area of application and stress on the polished object). object).    Notice:  The product should not necessarily be used in the blazing sun, otherwise it may happen that you have to work harder to polish up the product One should also not use the metal care on smooth floors, as this surface then becomes even smoother and possible slipping danger exists.
