Gold Electrolyte BMG‑072 – High Speed Gold High-Quality High-Speed Gold Plating Electrolyte – 12 g Gold per Liter Short Description The Gold Electrolyte BMG‑072 (High Speed Gold) is a ready-to-use plating solution for fast and high-quality gold deposition on metal surfaces. With 12 grams of gold per liter, this electrolyte allows faster deposition, thicker layers in less time, and coverage of larger areas compared to lower-concentration gold baths. Its hard, uniform, and well-adhering gold layers make it suitable for hobbyists, workshops, labs, and professional industrial applications. Applications High Speed Gold Electrolyte is ideal for: Decorative gold plating (jewelry, pendants, trims) Technical gold plating (contact surfaces, circuit boards, measuring devices) Corrosion protection and durable surface finishing Multi-layer systems, e.g., Copper → Nickel → Gold Partial or full coverage of complex components The higher gold content allows faster results and higher deposition rates than standard gold baths. How it Works (Simple Explanation) Gold is deposited onto metal surfaces through direct current: Polish: Prepare a smooth, high-gloss surface. Clean: Thoroughly degrease (e.g., with an electrocleaner). Activate: Chemically activate the surface (e.g., with an activator). Gold Plating: Apply DC (approx. 4 V) with a platinum or graphite anode to deposit gold. Result: a hard, uniform gold layer with excellent gloss and high durability. Advantages High gold content (12 g/L) for faster deposition and thicker layers Very hard and uniform layers, even for prolonged plating Excellent coverage and adhesion on metals like stainless steel, copper, silver, brass, nickel, iron, and steel Suitable for tank, brush, and tampon plating Versatile for decorative and technical plating in hobby, industrial, or research applications Economical for larger surfaces or frequent use Technical Parameters PropertyValue / RangeElectrolyte typeGold plating solution (High Speed Gold)Gold contentapprox. 12 g/LOperating temperature14–25 °CVoltage range3.0–8.0 V (starting at ~4 V)Recommended anodePlatinum or graphiteGold content in depositapprox. 99.9 % (rest carbon)Deposition rateapprox. 0.7 µm/min at 3.5 V (Platinum anode)Layer hardnessapprox. 220–230 HVDeposit densityapprox. 19.0 g/cm³Voltage stressmediumStorageprotect from direct sunlightShelf life1–2 yearsHazard classHarmful / Irritant Note: Values are typical operational data; slight variations may occur depending on application.
