How Platinum Plating Works (Simple Explanation)
Platinum plating is performed by electrolytic deposition:
-
Surface preparation: The workpiece is thoroughly cleaned and degreased.
-
Activation: If necessary, the surface is chemically activated to remove oxides.
-
Plating: By applying direct current, platinum ions are reduced from the electrolyte and deposited as a metallic platinum layer on the surface.
-
Finishing: After plating, the part is rinsed with clean water and dried, resulting in a uniform, bright metallic coating.

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.
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.
