Platinum Solution 2 G./Liter

Product information "Platinum Solution 2 G./Liter"

Platinum Electrolyte BMG‑110.3

High-quality platinum electroplating solution – 2 g/L Platinum


Short Description

The Platinum Electrolyte BMG‑110.3 is a ready-to-use electroplating solution for the electrolytic deposition of platinum layers on conductive metal surfaces.
With 2 grams of platinum per liter, this solution produces corrosion-resistant, bright, and shiny platinum coatings with a thickness of approximately 0.5–1.0 µm. Platinum offers high wear resistance and a noble gray appearance, making it suitable for decorative and technical applications.


Applications

Platinum coatings are used for:

  • Decorative surfaces on jewelry and accessories

  • Functional coatings with high abrasion and corrosion resistance

  • Electrical contacts and components requiring excellent conductivity and durability

  • Tank, brush, and pen plating depending on application

  • Surface finishing either as a final layer or as a base for additional coatings

Platinum provides a noble gray to silver-white metallic finish, valued both aesthetically and functionally.


How Platinum Plating Works (Simple Explanation)

Platinum plating is achieved via electrolytic deposition:

  1. Cleaning: Thoroughly degrease and clean the workpiece

  2. Activation: Chemically activate the surface if necessary

  3. Electroplating: Apply direct current to deposit platinum from the solution

  4. Finishing: Rinse and dry – the bright platinum layer remains intact

The deposited platinum layer is uniform, very fine, and highly durable.


Benefits of Platinum Electrolyte BMG‑110.3

  • High wear resistance of the platinum coating

  • Corrosion-resistant, bright metallic finish

  • Suitable for decorative and technical applications

  • Works for tank, brush, and pen plating

  • Easy to use with proper surface preparation

  • Produces high-purity platinum deposits (≥ 99.9 %)

Practical Application Tips

Preparation:

  • Thoroughly clean and degrease workpieces

  • Activate surfaces if necessary to remove oxides and contamination

Platinum Plating:

  • Operate the electrolyte in a bath or with brush/pen plating

  • Ensure even movement or agitation for uniform deposition

  • Mask areas selectively if partial plating is required

Post-treatment:

  • Rinse with clean water after plating

  • Dry and, if desired, lightly polish for higher shine


Safety Information

Platinum electrolytes are acidic chemical solutions and must be handled carefully:

  • Wear gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes

  • Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs

  • Work in well-ventilated areas only

  • Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children

  • Dispose of waste according to local chemical disposal regulations


Conclusion

The Platinum Electrolyte BMG‑110.3 is a reliable and versatile electroplating solution for producing high-quality platinum coatings.
With easy handling, high wear resistance, and a noble gray finish, it is ideal for decorative jewelry and accessory surfaces as well as technical applications requiring durability and aesthetics. Correct surface preparation and operating parameters ensure uniform, long-lasting platinum layers.

Anode sleeve fuzzy

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.

Carbon Electrode 6mm

Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) Short Description The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) is a durable, chemically inert electrode rod made from high‑density fine‑grain graphite. Designed for use as an anode or electrode in electroplating processes, it is ideal for bath, pen, and pad plating applications where a clean, metal‑free current supply is essential.  Product Description This graphite electrode is manufactured from highly compressed fine‑grain graphite, which dissolves only slowly in electrolytes. Unlike metallic anodes, graphite does not shed contaminating metal particles, ensuring cleaner coatings and higher deposit quality.  The 6 mm diameter rod, with an approximate length of 95 mm, fits standard plating fixtures, holders, and pen plating tools, making it easy to integrate into various electroplating setups Typical Applications Electroplating processes (e.g., silver, gold, copper, black nickel, chrome, white bronze) Pen, bath, and pad plating Activation and pre‑treatment steps Counter‑electrode or anode use in a wide range of electrolytes Situations where metal contamination must be avoided Key Benefits Chemically inert: prevents unwanted metal ion contamination in the plating bath. Versatile: compatible with most electroplating chemistries and techniques.  Slow wear: dissolves gradually, extending service life. Affordable: cost‑effective solution for frequent use.  Easy to use: fits common plating holders and pen plating tools. Material & Dimensions Material: High‑density fine‑grain graphite Diameter: 6 mm Length: approx. 95 mm (other lengths may be available)  Practical Tips Ensure electrodes are clean and free of oils before use.  Replace electrodes periodically as they slowly dissolve during electroplating. Graphite’s mild warming effect can help stabilize bath temperature during plating. Conclusion The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm is an effective and reliable anode/electrode for a wide range of electroplating applications. Its inert behavior, broad compatibility, and metal‑free current delivery make it a solid choice for hobbyists, workshops, labs, and professional plating operations.
