Aluminium Pretreatment BMG-063.5 Special chemical solution for aluminium surface preparation prior to electroplating Short Description The Aluminium Pretreatment BMG-063.5 is a chemical solution designed for the effective, current-free preparation of aluminium surfaces before subsequent electroplating processes. Aluminium rapidly forms a stable oxide layer when exposed to air, which prevents proper adhesion of electroplated coatings. This pretreatment removes oxide and passive layers, activates the surface, and improves wettability, ensuring reliable adhesion of later metal coatings such as nickel, copper, or gold. Applications The aluminium pretreatment is used for: Removal of oxide and passive layers on aluminium Surface activation prior to electroplating Improved adhesion of subsequent metal coatings Preparation for tank, brush, or pen plating Ensuring uniform, durable electroplated layers Proper pretreatment is essential for achieving high-quality and long-lasting coatings on aluminium. How the Pretreatment Works (Simple Explanation) Aluminium naturally reacts with oxygen and forms a thin but dense oxide film that blocks electroplating. The Aluminium Pretreatment BMG-063.5 uses a chemical activation process to prepare the surface: Cleaning: Aluminium parts are cleaned and degreased. Pretreatment: Parts are immersed in the aluminium pretreatment solution. Activation: The chemical reaction removes oxides and activates the surface. Rinsing: Parts are thoroughly rinsed with water. Plating: The activated surface is now ready for electroplating. Advantages of Aluminium Pretreatment BMG-063.5 Effective oxide and passive layer removal Improves adhesion of electroplated coatings Current-free process, easy to apply Suitable for various aluminium alloys Compatible with multiple subsequent plating systems Improves coating quality and durability Technical Parameters PropertyValue / RangeProduct typeAluminium pretreatment solutionApplication methodChemical, current-freeFunctionOxide removal and surface activationOperating temperatureRoom temperature to slightly heatedTreatment timeDepends on alloy and oxidation levelSuitable materialsAluminium and aluminium alloysPost-treatmentRinse thoroughly with waterStorageCool, dry, tightly closed Note: Treatment time varies depending on aluminium alloy and degree of oxidation. Practical Application Notes Preparation: Remove grease and visible contamination before treatment. Pretreatment: Fully immerse parts in the pretreatment solution. Observe the reaction and adjust treatment time as required. Remove parts once activation is complete. After Treatment: Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Dry the parts; the surface is now activated and ready for plating. Safety Information Chemical pretreatment solutions contain active substances and must be handled carefully: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing Avoid skin and eye contact Rinse immediately with plenty of water in case of contact Use only in well-ventilated areas Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling Dispose of according to local chemical waste regulations Conclusion The Aluminium Pretreatment BMG-063.5 is an essential process step for successful electroplating on aluminium. By effectively removing oxide layers and activating the surface, it ensures excellent adhesion, uniform coatings, and long-term durability of subsequent electroplated layers. This product is suitable for hobby users, workshops, and professional electroplating operations seeking reliable and repeatable results.

(Simple Explanation) Electroplating uses electric current to deposit metal from a liquid solution onto a workpiece. Clean and degrease the metal surface thoroughly. Attach the workpiece as the cathode (negative terminal). Immerse both the workpiece and a nickel anode in the nickel electrolyte. Apply direct current; nickel ions in the solution are reduced and form a solid nickel layer on the workpiece. real-gold.de Proper surface preparation and correct electrical settings are key to achieving a smooth, shiny nickel finish.

Chrome Remover / Chrome Stripper BMG‑062.3 Powerful solution for safe and efficient removal of electroplated chrome layers Short Description The Chrome Remover BMG‑062.3 is a chemical solution designed for the controlled, efficient removal of electroplated chrome layers (such as hard chrome or decorative chrome) from metal surfaces. It is ideal for use in workshops, hobby projects, or professional electroplating applications where chrome surfaces need to be removed or refurbished before applying new coatings. Applications The Chrome Remover is used for: Stripping existing chrome layers, e.g., for repair or restoration Removing hard or decorative chrome prior to new plating Preparing surfaces for subsequent coatings (copper, nickel, gold, etc.) Removing uneven or damaged chrome areas Use in workshops, electroplating labs, and small-scale or hobby projects How Chrome Removal Works (Simple Explanation) Chrome cannot be removed mechanically without risking damage to the base metal. The Chrome Remover uses a chemical process that selectively dissolves the chrome layer without significantly attacking the underlying metal (when used correctly): Bath Preparation: Submerge chrome-plated parts in the remover solution. Dissolution: A chemical reaction breaks down the chrome layer. Removal: Once the chrome is dissolved, it can be easily removed from the surface. Post-treatment: Rinse thoroughly with water and degrease before applying new coatings. Benefits of Chrome Remover BMG‑062.3 Fast and efficient removal of electroplated chrome layers Gentle on base metals if applied correctly Ideal for preparing surfaces for new electroplating Suitable for workshops, hobbyists, and professional use Easy bath application, no mechanical stripping required Technical Parameters PropertyValue / RangeProduct typeChemical Chrome RemoverApplicationChemical removal of chrome layers in a dip bathOperating temperatureapprox. 20–40 °C (room temp to slightly warmed)Bath typeNon-electrolytic chemical processApplicable layersElectroplated chrome (hard and decorative)Base metalsCopper, brass, steel, stainless steel (depending on pretreatment)Reaction timeDepends on layer thickness and conditionLayer thicknessAll typical chrome layer thicknessesSafety precautionsAlways wear protective equipmentStorageCool, dry, tightly closed container Note: Values are typical guidelines and may vary depending on chrome layer thickness and application. Practical Application Tips Preparation: Ensure the surface is as clean and degreased as possible before immersion. Chrome Removal in a Dip Bath: Fully submerge the part in the solution. Monitor the reaction time – the chrome layer dissolves depending on thickness and temperature. Once the layer is removed, take out the part and safely dispose of residues. Post-treatment: Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Degrease and activate the surface if it is to be re-plated. Safety Information The Chrome Remover is a strong chemical solution that must be handled carefully: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs Use only in well-ventilated areas Do not ingest – seek medical attention if swallowed Keep out of reach of children Dispose of waste according to local chemical disposal regulations Conclusion The Chrome Remover BMG‑062.3 is a reliable chemical solution for efficiently removing electroplated chrome layers.
