Product information "Platinum Electrode Mesh "
Product Information "Platinum Electrode Mesh for Bath Electroplating" by Betzmann-Galvanik:
This platinized titanium anode Mesh with handle in the size 100x50 mm was coated with 5µm platinum.
This platinized titanium anode is perfectly suitable for rhodium, platinum and gold plating baths, furthermore for rose gold, platinum, black nickel, black chrome, black rhodium and many more.
Properties "Platinum Electrode Mesh
Platinum electrode (platinized titanium with a platinum layer of 5 µm platinum)
100 mm x 50 mm
Standard electrode for experiments in electrochemistry (electroplating, electrolysis, ion migration, determination of electrochemical potentials etc.)
Spare platinum electrode for Hofmann decomposition apparatus, electrolyzer
Platinum-coated titanium anodes are among the classic anode materials for electroplating because they combine the excellent electrochemical properties of platinum with the good corrosion properties of titanium. They are characterized by a long service life at high current density and are versatile in use. They are equally suitable for platinum and ruthenium baths, for hard chrome plating, as bright rhodium baths and for cathodic corrosion protection. The standard platinum layer thickness is 5 μm.
In order to achieve the best results when plating with gold (adhesive gold bath, bright gold plating bath) or silver, they are indispensable.
This platinum electrode will more than meet your requirements, it hardly wears out and leaves no black spots or stains when plating. For top quality gold plating, I recommend using this electrode.
Other possible applications: Water electrolysis/separation of hydrogen and oxygen, water disinfection, production of chlorates (chlorate synthesis) and perchlorates.
Recommended operating data:
Operating voltage from 3 volts
distance anode/workpiece surface 5 cm
anodic current intensity (specific current density) max. 75 A/dm² (7.5 mA/mm² = 750 mA/cm²), i.e. a multiple of the values typical in electroplating (0.5 ... 5 A/dm²)

Gold Flash - Goldflash
From
€23.21*
Product information "Gold Flash" from Betzmann Galvanik
Gold Flash with 2 grams of gold per liter - wonderfully suitable as an intermediate layer or decorative layer.
The Gold Flash from Betzmann Galvanik has 2 main areas of application:
1. optical-decorative layer:
Gold is soft and needs the addition of cobalt as a hard abrasion resistant top layer, which is not included in this product.
Therefore, the gold layer from Goldflash appears somewhat lighter yellow.
Parts that are not subject to any stress, such as souvenirs, horseshoes for decoration, etc., can be easily, directly and inexpensively gold-plated with the Goldflash.
Tip: You can first gild parts very intensively and thickly with the Goldflash and then coat them briefly with the 8 or 12 gram cobalt-displaced hard gold!
2. bonding primer for the following coatings:
Many applications require thin layers of gold before actual plating. Until now, this was only possible with the use of 24 carat gold and was therefore quite costly.
cost-intensive. This is now a thing of the past.
With the Goldflash from Betzmann Galvanik, you can now apply the desired gold layer.
As an example, direct silver plating of nickel is usually not feasible, so you can first gold plate with the Goldflash, then silver plate.
Likewise, when using black chrome, rose gold plating, green gold plating, the gold flash serves as an optimal bonding base when copper or nickel cannot be applied directly!
Also, gilding nickel, which naturally oxidizes, is very easy and spotless.
Then chrome plating on Goldflash can be done even easier and without problems.
Despite gold plating, the material input is far below 10 cents per cm2 of surface!

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).

PRODUCT PRESENTATION - GOLD ELECTROLYTE 999 FINE GOLD - 23,8 CARAT
WITH 2 GRAMS OF GOLD PER LITER
Do-it-yourself gold plating has never been so easy. Our Gold Electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik can be purchased by anyone. So whether it is for use in the highly professional use of laboratories, industry, luxury companies, to the use in the hobby, main or in the side business, companies, schools, universities, TH , IHK or other authorities.
With this extremely fast and very hard depositing gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik, you can usually coat the following metals directly:
Stainless steel of all kinds, surgical steel, copper, silver, brass, nickel, iron, steel,
The pink color of the electrolyte is the hardness additive cobalt. This gives the otherwise much too soft gold an abrasion resistant surface. This is not toxic in the admixed composition.
The gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik is anti-allergenic, was extracted from crisis- and conflict-free gold and is food-safe.
Our Betzmann Galvanik Gold Electrolyte has a very fast deposition and further achieves a very hard gold layer. It has a very good covering effect and is therefore one of the best products on the market worldwide. A special preservative results in a very long shelf life of at least 2 years and prevents sedimentation, which occurs with many other gold electrolytes.
The Gold Electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik can be used for pen electroplating, pad electroplating and also for bath electroplating!
The Gold Electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik is used worldwide, e.g. for the gold plating of boat parts made of brass that are exposed to salt water, medical technology, measurement technology, for optical gold plating, for technical gold plating, gold plating of drive shafts, musical instruments and their parts, both inside and outside, body jewelry, intimate protection, dental jewelry, dental technology, drills of all kinds, shisa, e-cigarettes so-called. Vaporizers, vehicle parts, engine parts, motorcycle parts, airplane interiors, exhaust systems and manifolds, as gold is very heat resistant, sporting goods, diving equipment, keys and pendants, jewelry, chains and rings of all kinds, piston rods, pipes, table feet, bathroom fixtures and many more.
Partial coatings are possible by masking and masking surrounding areas.
To avoid material loss when coating sloping surfaces, we recommend our thickener/gel former. With this you can thicken all electrolytes also chrome remover, cleaner etc..
Also you can use with this gold mostly in the ratio 1:10 our mixer products like rose gold, white gold and green gold!
Optimal results are achieved with the platinum electrode 6mm - 10cm long or the flat platinum electrode, since platinum electrodes can build up very thick layers far above 10 microns and more.
Graphite electrodes can also be used.

Product information "Klargold - Clear Gold " by Betzmann Galvanik
Clear gold with 10 grams of gold per liter is just like the gold flash - wonderfully suitable as an intermediate layer or decorative layer.
Betzmann Galvanik's Clear Gold has the following main applications:
1. for mixing with Rose Gold Mixer - White Gold Mixer - Green Gold Mixer or Goldweisser. The hardness additives are in the respective mixer liquids. You can find the instructions in the respective item description and guide.
2. Optical-decorative layer:
Gold is soft and requires the addition of cobalt as a hard abrasion resistant top layer, which is not included in this product.
Therefore, the gold layer from the Clear Gold appears slightly lighter yellow.
Parts that are not subject to stress, such as souvenirs, horseshoes for decoration, etc., can be easily, directly and inexpensively gilded with the Clear Gold.
Tip: You can first very intensively and thickly gild parts with the clear gold, because the high proportion of gold very quickly and thick gold layers and then coated briefly with the 8 or 12 grams cobalt-displaced hard gold!
3. bonding primer for the following coatings:
Many applications require thin layers of gold before actual plating.
With the Clear Gold from Betzmann Galvanik you can apply the desired gold layer.
As an example, direct silver plating of nickel is usually not feasible, so you can first gold plate with the Clear Gold, then silver plate.
Likewise, when using black chrome, rose gold plating, green gold plating, the clear gold serves as an optimal bonding base when copper or nickel cannot be applied directly!
Also, the gilding of nickel, which naturally oxidizes, is very easy and spotless possible.
Then chrome plating on clear gold can be done even easier and without problems.

Platinum electrode from Betzmann-Galvanik:
We know that when plating with gold or silver, you want to achieve only the best results
and this is achieved by using our platinum electrode (platinized titanium). This will
more than meet your requirements.
It hardly wears out and leaves no black spots or stains when plating. For
top quality gold plating, we recommend the use of this electrode.
Care should be taken to clean the electrode carefully after each use!
Properties "Platinum Electrode 6 mm
Platinum electrode (platinized titanium with a platinum layer of 2.5 µm platinum)
Ø 6 mm x 100 mm
Standard electrode for experiments in electrochemistry (electroplating, electrolysis, ion migration, determination of electrochemical potentials, etc.)
Spare platinum electrode for Hofmann decomposition apparatus, electrolyzer
Platinum-coated titanium anodes are among the classic anode materials for electroplating because they combine the excellent electrochemical properties of platinum with the good corrosion properties of titanium. They are characterized by a long service life at high current density and are versatile in use. They are equally suitable for platinum and ruthenium baths, for hard chrome plating, as bright rhodium baths and for cathodic corrosion protection. The standard platinum layer thickness is 2.5 μm.
In order to achieve the best results when plating with gold (adhesive gold bath, bright gold plating bath) or silver, they are indispensable.
This platinum electrode will more than meet your requirements, it hardly wears out and leaves no black spots or stains when plating. For top quality gold plating, I recommend using this electrode.
Other possible applications: Water electrolysis/separation of hydrogen and oxygen, water disinfection, production of chlorates (chlorate synthesis) and perchlorates.
Recommended operating data:
Operating voltage from 3 volts
distance anode/workpiece surface 5 cm
anodic current intensity (specific current density) max. 75 A/dm² (7.5 mA/mm² = 750 mA/cm²), i.e. a multiple of the values typical in electroplating (0.5 ... 5 A/dm²)

PRODUCT PRESENTATION - GOLD ELECTRTOLYT 999 FINE GOLD - 23,8 CARAT
WITH 8 GRAMS OF GOLD PER LITER
Do-it-yourself gold plating has never been so easy. Our gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik may be purchased by anyone. Whether it is for use in highly professional laboratories, industry, luxury companies, to the use in the hobby, main or secondary trade, companies, schools, universities, TH , IHK or other authorities.
With this extremely fast and very hard depositing gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik, you can usually coat the following metals directly:
Stainless steel of all kinds, surgical steel, copper, silver, brass, nickel, iron, steel,
The pink color of the electrolyte is the hardness additive cobalt. This gives the otherwise much too soft gold an abrasion resistant surface. This is not toxic in the admixed composition.
The gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik is anti-allergenic, was extracted from crisis- and conflict-free gold and is food-safe.
Our Betzmann Galvanik Gold Electrolyte has a very fast deposition and further achieves a very hard gold layer. It has a very good covering effect and is therefore one of the best products on the market worldwide. A special preservative causes a very long shelf life of at least 2 years and prevents sedimentation, as it occurs with many other gold electrolytes.
The gold electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik is used worldwide, e.g. for the gold plating of boat parts made of brass that are exposed to salt water, medical technology, measurement technology, for optical gold plating, for technical gold plating, gold plating of drive shafts, musical instruments and their parts, both inside and outside, body jewelry, intimate protection, dental jewelry, dental technology, drills of all kinds, shisa, e-cigarettes so-called. Vaporizers, vehicle parts, engine parts, motorcycle parts, airplane interiors, exhaust systems and manifolds, as gold is very heat resistant, sporting goods, diving equipment, keys and pendants, jewelry, chains and rings of all kinds, piston rods, pipes, table feet, bathroom fixtures and many more.
Partial coatings are possible by masking and masking surrounding areas.
To avoid material loss when coating sloping surfaces, we recommend our thickener/gel former. With this you can thicken all electrolytes also chrome remover, cleaner etc..
Also you can use with this gold mostly in the ratio 1:10 our mixer products like rose gold, white gold and green gold!
Optimal results are achieved with the platinum electrode 6mm - 10cm length or the flat platinum electrode, because platinum electrodes can build up very thick layers far over 10 microns and more.
Graphite electrodes can also be used.
Gold content: 8 grams per liter

Anode sleeve fuzzy
€2.38*
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.
