Palladium Electrolyte 5 g/L SW10016M
Bright Palladium Plating Solution – Nickel-Free and Allergen-Friendly
Short Description
The Palladium Electrolyte SW10016M is an electroplating solution for depositing bright, silver-white palladium layers with a palladium concentration of approximately 5 g/L.
It produces a uniform, shiny surface suitable for decorative finishes, barrier layers, or as a base for subsequent plating, such as gold.
Palladium plating is an allergen-free alternative to nickel and is suitable for both hobbyist and professional applications.
Applications
This palladium electrolyte is used for:
-
Depositing bright, silver-white palladium layers on conductive metals
-
Nickel-free barrier layers between copper/bronze and gold
-
Decorative metallic finishes with a high-quality look
-
Preparing surfaces for subsequent plating
-
Corrosion-resistant protective coatings
It can be plated on copper, nickel, brass, silver, gold, and dechromed surfaces.
How Palladium Electroplating Works (Simple Explanation)
Palladium electroplating uses direct current (DC) to reduce palladium ions from the electrolyte onto the surface:
-
Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece.
-
Plating: Connect the workpiece as cathode and apply voltage.
-
Deposition: Palladium ions deposit a bright, uniform silver-white layer.
-
Finishing: Rinse with water and dry for a shiny, even finish.
