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.

Rose Gold Electrolyte BMG‑118AM High-quality 18 K rose gold plating solution for decorative and functional coatings Short Description The Rose Gold Electrolyte BMG‑118AM is a ready-to-use electroplating solution for the deposition of 18 K rose gold layers on conductive metal surfaces. This cyanide-free plating bath produces a warm, reddish-golden tone characteristic of 18 K rose gold. The electrolyte can be used in tank, brush, and pen/peg plating and provides fast deposition and attractive appearance. Applications The rose gold electrolyte is used for: Decorative rose gold plating of jewelry, watch cases, and accessories Visual enhancement of metal surfaces with a warm rose-gold color Technical surfaces requiring durable rose gold finishes Multi-layer plating systems (e.g., base metal → rose gold) Applications needing a uniform, glossy 18 K rose gold coating Rose gold plating combines attractive color with good mechanical properties, suitable for decorative and functional applications. How Rose Gold Plating Works (Simple Explanation) Rose gold plating uses an electrolytic process in which a gold-copper alloy from the solution is deposited on the workpiece: Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the part. Activation: Optionally activate chemically for optimal adhesion. Rose Gold Plating: Apply direct current; metal ions are reduced from the electrolyte to form an 18 K rose gold layer. Finishing: Rinse and dry the plated part. The resulting layer is glossy, warm, and reddish-golden, typical for rose gold alloys. Benefits of Rose Gold Electrolyte BMG‑118AM Attractive 18 K rose gold color with warm reddish-golden tone Cyanide-free electrolyte with stable plating chemistry Fast deposition rate compared to many other plating solutions Suitable for tank, brush, and pen/peg plating Can plate directly on brass, nickel, silver, or gold substrates High-gloss, adherent layers with good corrosion and wear resistance Versatile for decorative and functional plating applications Technical Parameters PropertyValue / RangeElectrolyte typeRose gold plating solutionAlloy type18 K rose gold (gold-copper alloy)Gold contentapprox. 8 g/LCopper contentapprox. 3 g/LpHca. 7.2–8.0 (neutral)Density>1.07 g/mLVoltage1.4–1.8 VBath temperature55–60 °CAnode materialPlatinum-coated titaniumCurrent density0.1–0.5 A/dm²Deposition rateapprox. 45 mg/A·minPlating speedapprox. 0.1 µm/minMaximum layer thicknessup to 10 µmLayer hardness380–400 HV Practical Application Tips Preparation: Clean and degrease workpieces thoroughly.
