Metal Polish Ultrafine

Product Information Betzmann Electroplating - Black Nickel Electrolyte   Our black nickel electrolyte for galvanic blackening of metals   This new black nickel electrolyte conjures a dark to black surface directly on stainless steel, brass or copper! polish surface if necessary degrease and activate Black nickel plating from 3 volts optimal with platinum electrode!   Like all nickel electrolytes, this one is not suitable for coating metals worn on the skin! A special surface sealing is not necessary. Temperature resistance up to approx. 200 degrees!     In many cases, a base layer of normal nickel is recommended for components made of the metals mentioned for long durability, especially on copper and its alloys in outdoor applications. This increases the corrosion resistance and leads to better results. For this bright nickel layer we recommend the normal nickel Free. Before applying the Smoky Nickel, prepare the component with great care to achieve the best results. This includes, above all, thorough cleaning and absolutely grease-free surfaces. Therefore, remove all impurities such as dirt, flash rust and the like and use for our electrocleaner! Wear protective gloves already during the degreasing process to prevent skin grease from being deposited on the component.   The black nickel is suitable for use in bath electroplating as well as for pin electroplating. The following anodes are suitable for the smoky nickel: Nickel anodes Graphite anodes Platinum anodes Stainless steel anodes permitted for pin electroplating For plating, the anode is switched to positive and the workpiece to negative.   Observe the formation of gas bubbles closely during the electroplating process. If too many gas bubbles rise on the workpiece, the voltage must be reduced. This also applies if an intense black coloration appears in places. If no deposition occurs, the voltage is too low and must be carefully increased. All in all, deposition is slower with black nickel electrolytes than with normal nickel electrolytes.   Wear appropriate protective clothing throughout the process and ensure good room ventilation.   Parameters (these may vary, please test): Bath electroplating: 2-8V (approx. 3-5V recommended). Pin plating: 6-10V (approx. 6-8V recommended) Current density: 1-5 A/dm² Working temperature: 15-50°C pH value: approx. 4-5 (can be corrected e.g. with citric acid or sulfuric acid) Deposition rate: approx. 0.5μm/min at 2.5A/dm² and 20°.

Rosegold Solution from Betzmann Galvanik This Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution (18 Karat) doesn’t have to be mixed beforehand. It can be used for both brush and pen plating. You can use either the Platinum Electrode (2.5 – 3.0 volts) or the Carbon Electrode (2.0 – 2.5 volts) with this solution. One of the outstanding qualities of the solution is that it plates very fast compared to other brush plating solutions. You can compare the plating rates using our online brush plating calculator on the links bar above.   Failure to observe the above precautions will result in the degeneration of the gold component in the solution. This will cause copper-rich plating, which will tarnish quickly.   Please see below for more products related to Rose Gold Brush/Pen Plating Solution (18 Karat).

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.

Product information “Silver electrolyte” silver plating - cyanide free! Article description:Betzmann electroplating silver electrolyte - the product properties at a glance: 330 grams of silver per liter - Highly concentrated for fast silver plating Cyanide-free and safe to use - ideal for jewelry manufacturers and also for hobby usersSuitable for bath and pin electroplatingBuilds up thick silver layers very quickly Creates shiny silver layers that can be polished to a high shinePlease note that you need both a power supply unit and a bath or pin electroplating system to create abrasion-resistant silver layers on objects.Silver briefly deposits grey and is then gently polished to a shine with a damp microfiber cloth, then the bright white silver appears. A yellow clouding of the fabric pad during silver plating is normal and decomposes again after a short time. The silver electrolyte is ideal for bath and pin electroplating. With the cyanide-free silver electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik, you can easily electroplate silver yourself! In contrast to the highly toxic silver electrolytes commonly used in industry, the cyanide-free silver electrolyte is safe to handle.The electrolyte deposits robust and attractive layers of fine silver. The silver is deposited brightly and generally no longer needs to be polished. The electrolyte is ideal for silver-plating jewelry, restorative silver-plating of silver cutlery and galvanic silver-plating of many other objects. Due to the high silver content of 30 grams per liter, the electrolyte deposits silver very quickly - this is particularly advantageous in pin electroplating, as it reduces the working time. Base metals such as zinc or iron should be nickel-plated, copper-plated or silver-plated before silver-plating. Please note that the silver electrode is the optimum electrode for silver plating!We have corresponding electrodes in our range.
