Leitlacke - nicht leitende Flächen
Sie wollen Schuhe, Muscheln, Kalk, Blumen, Rosen, Ihren selbst kreierten 3D Druck galvanisieren? Dann sind Sie hier genau richtig!
Sie benötigen zunächst einen Kupferleitlack oder Silberleitlack.
Der Unterschied?
Kupferleitlack ist günstig, patiniert aber, sprich die Oxide machen ihn nichtleitend. Daher muss der Leitlack wieder aktiviert werden, in dem man ihn für ca. 30 Minuten in saures Kupfer Elektrolyt einlegt.
Die Säure entfernt die Oxide und dann findet der Stromfluss statt. Kontaktieren Sie nun das zu beschichtende Teil mit dem Minus und legen Sie es in das saure Kupferbad. Beschichten Sie für eine Zeit das Teil mit saurem Kupfer und bringen so eine wunderschöne glänzende Kupferschicht auf. Dies sollte mit einer harten Sperrschicht in Form von Nickel oder Kobalt oder Palladium versehen werden, als Deckschicht dann Gold oder Chrom.
Der Silberleitlack ist teurer, leitet aber immer. D.h. dieser kann direkt mit saurem Kupfer, PP Kupfer oder alkalischem Kupfer beschichtet / metallisiert werden.
Dann auch diesen mit einer Sperrschicht versehen, als Deckschicht dann Gold oder Chrom.
Alternativ gibt es auch ein selbstklebendes Kupferband, ein sog. Schneckenband. Dies kann man auf die Fläche kleben, möglichst glattstreichen, dann kann man direkt beschichten - siehe Anleitungsvideos!

It is suitable for tank plating as well as brush / pen plating and produces very smooth, bright and uniform copper coatings with excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. This acidic copper electrolyte is more powerful than alkaline copper systems and is used whenever high surface quality, strong adhesion and excellent brightness are required. What is this electrolyte used for? The acid bright copper electrolyte is used for electroplating conductive metals in order to: provide corrosion protection create decorative, high-gloss copper surfaces serve as an intermediate layer for further coatings (nickel, silver, gold, chromium) improve electrical and thermal conductivity build complex multilayer systems such as copper → nickel → chromium or copper → nickel → gold How does copper electroplating work? (simple explanation) In electroplating, copper is deposited onto a workpiece using direct electrical current: The workpiece is thoroughly cleaned and degreased It is connected as the cathode (negative pole) A suitable anode (copper or graphite) is connected as the positive pole When current is applied, copper ions migrate from the electrolyte and form a copper layer on the surface The result is a smooth, bright and conductive copper coating. Advantages of the Acid Bright Copper Electrolyte Produces high-gloss, uniform copper coatings Excellent electrical conductivity Suitable for tank plating and brush / pen plating Ideal as a base layer for nickel and decorative metal coatings Good polishability, reducing post-polishing effort Reliable performance when operated within recommended parameters Technical Parameters The following values represent typical operating parameters for acid bright copper electrolytes: PropertyValue / RangeElectrolyte typeAcid bright copper electrolytepH valueapprox. 1Operating temperature15–50 °CVoltage (tank plating)0.5–2.5 V (recommended ~1–1.5 V at 10 cm electrode distance)Voltage (brush / pen plating)1.2–4.5 V (recommended ~3 V)Current density0.6–5 A/dm² (up to ~7 A/dm² with agitation)Deposition rateapprox. 1 µm/min at 5 A/dm² and 20 °CAnode materialCopper or graphiteSuitable substratesCopper, brass, stainless steel, acid-resistant metalsNot suitable without pretreatmentAluminum, chromium, zinc, tin, titanium Important: Acid-sensitive metals such as steel, iron or zinc must first be pre-plated with an alkaline copper electrolyte before using this acid copper system. Practical Application Notes Surface preparation: Thorough degreasing and cleaning are essential No grease, fingerprints or residues should remain on the surface Tank plating: Maintain recommended voltage and current density Keep appropriate distance between anode and cathode Brush / pen plating: Keep the plating pad in constant motion for uniform deposition Temperature: Can be used at room temperature or heated up to 50 °C for improved deposition behavior Safety Information Acid copper electrolytes contain acidic components and copper salts and must be handled carefully: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water Use only in well-ventilated areas Do not inhale vapors or aerosols Do not discharge into drains or the environment Keep out of reach of children Always observe the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and applicable hazard labeling.

Conductive silver lacquer spray 150 ml from Betzmann Galvanik Product information about Betzmann electroplating silver conductive lacquer spray (150 ml) Item description: Betzmann Galvanik conductive silver lacquer spray (150 ml) - the product properties at a glance: highly conductive easy to spray on 16 grams of silver and minimal copper content, hence the red tinge suitable for bath and pen plating With conductive silver lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik you can make non-conductive surfaces such as plastic, wood and many more conductive and then simply electroplate them, for example. After application, the conductive lacquer can be electroplated with either pen plating or bath plating. In order to achieve glossy results, the object treated with the conductive lacquer should be coated with the acid copper electrolyte or our new PP copper - you can then polish to a shine and then further silver or gold plating. Please read our operating instructions carefully before using the conductive lacquer spray. Scope of delivery: 150 ml silver conductive lacquer spray SILVER CONDUCTIVE PAINT SPRAY Fields of application: Conductive treatment of plastics, glass, ceramics and many other materials. Also very well suited as a decorative lacquer for flowers - also preserves fresh flowers without drying them first. General use: Apply a thin layer of conductive lacquer to the pre-cleaned, grease-free surface. Plastic parts can be coated better if they are sprayed with plastic primer beforehand. Spray the conductive lacquer in several layers in cross-coats. Allow the conductive lacquer to dry thoroughly before each spraying cycle (5 - 15 minutes). In order to remove last solvent residues it is recommended to blow-dry the conductive lacquer thoroughly with a hair dryer before electroplating. The conductive lacquer should be shaken thoroughly before spraying to prevent clumping. Pen plating: Small areas can be plated with pen plating directly after drying. However, care should be taken to apply only weak pressure to the lacquer to avoid scratches. The object with the minus pole should only be contacted but not clamped. Here, our copper plates are suitable. The first layer that is applied must be bright copper or PP copper, as this electrolyte quickly separates and strengthens the conductive lacquer layer. Afterwards, further coatings can be applied with other electrolytes. Since the conductive lacquer can easily be damaged, pen plating on conductive lacquer is only recommended to a limited extent. It is much better to coat the object with bright copper electrolyte beforehand. Bath electroplating: The best results can be achieved with conductive lacquer if it is copper-plated after spraying. The coating should be thick enough to obtain a polish-resistant layer (copper plating in bath for about 30 - 45 minutes). Before applying further coatings, the copper can then be carefully polished to a shine. It is important to spray especially edges and transitions carefully, as the conductive lacquer is most sensitive at these points and tends to run off. Safety Instructions: The conductive lacquer is inflammable and dangerous to the environment. Therefore keep the conductive lacquer away from ignition sources and sparking. Avoid electrostatic charging. Do not allow the conductive lacquer to get into the waste water and dispose of dried residues in hazardous waste.
