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 round rod - Graphite rod anode - Graphite electrode for gold plating.  Graphite electrodes are ultimate for all coatings. The advantage is that in some coatings with stainless steel electrodes, the dislodged metal parts disturb the coating. This does not happen with graphite electrodes, because graphite also filters out contaminated liquids. With bath electroplating, they also need to be replaced occasionally as they slowly dissolve during the plating process.   With pad electroplating, simply loosen the screw on the handle and replace with a new one.   Diameter 6 mm, length approx. 9 cm    Features Used for Doesn’t contaminate Cleaner Activating and electro-cleaning  Its resistive properties help to heat the solution you’re plating with Chromium plating, which needs to be plated at 25 degrees celsius; its natural heating action helps to maintain the solution’s optimal temperature Low cost Can be used for all plating processes but carbon electrodes deteriorate over a period of time and discolour swabs (discolouration does not affect the plating quality)    

Black Chrome - Smoky Chrome by Betzmann Galvanik      This dark anthracite to slightly black shiny look is now popular for many car parts or cell phones and is a very good alternative to black rhodium or black ruthenium. Alternative to black rhodium or black ruthenium.   Black chrome is a spectacular finish and always an eye catcher. Recommended electrode: Carbon Electrode 10 Volt - Platinum electrode 11 Volt. Plating on Copper, Nickel, Gold or goldflash is possible.     Operating Conditions and Deposit DataVoltage Range9 – 11 volts (see notes)Temperature20 – 30 °CLightness (L*) of deposit65 – 70%ElectrodeCarbon or Platinum Electrode (see notes)Chromium content in plate99% (balance carbon)Plating Rate at (10 volts, Carbon Electrode)Approx. 2 micron per minute (spot)Maximum plating thickness3 micronsHardness (as plated)800 Hv (see notes)Hardness after heat treatment1500 – 1600 Hv (see notes)Density of deposit7.2 g/cm3StressHi stressSpecial storage requirementsNoneShelf life1 – 2 yearsHealth and Safety classificationNot classified as dangerousSpecial considerationsNoneTransport (UN number)None: Not classified as dangerous for transport Notes:Heat treating at 220 °C increases the hardness of the deposit from 800to 1600 Hv.The voltage should be raised from 10 volts if using a Carbon Electrode to 11 volts whenusing a Platinum Electrode.We strongly advise against the use of stainless steel anodes for most of our plating processes.Plating rates are calculated over a sample area which is permanently covered by swab.

Product description "Graphite plate electrode". Graphite plate electrode for bath electroplating   highly compressed ("isostatically pressed"), wear-resistant fine-grain graphite excellent conductivity and chemical resistance plate thickness 4 mm available in sizes 50 x 80 mm, 100 x 150 mm and 170 x 200 mm for bath electroplating and electrolysis, use: electrolytic cleaning, gold plating, silver plating, chrome plating, degreasing as working or shielding surface for high temperature applications   Graphite electrodes are generally used in plating with chrome, copper, white bronze, rose gold, green gold, black chrome, black ruthenium, black rhodium, activation.   Actually, the graphite electrode is ultimate for all coatings.   The advantage is that in some coatings with stainless steel electrodes, the dislodged metal parts disturb the coating. This does not happen with graphite electrodes, because graphite   also filters out contaminated liquids.  They also need to be replaced occasionally as they slowly dissolve during coating.      Features Used for Doesn’t contaminate Cleaner Activating and electro-cleaning  Its resistive properties help to heat the solution you’re plating with Chromium plating, which needs to be plated at 25 degrees celsius; its natural heating action helps to maintain the solution’s optimal temperature Low cost Can be used for all plating processes but carbon electrodes deteriorate over a period of time and discolour swabs (discolouration does not affect the plating quality)
