Product information "Rosegold Solution 18 Karat"

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:

  1. Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the part.

  2. Activation: Optionally activate chemically for optimal adhesion.

  3. Rose Gold Plating: Apply direct current; metal ions are reduced from the electrolyte to form an 18 K rose gold layer.

  4. 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

Practical Application Tips

Preparation:

  • Clean and degrease workpieces thoroughly.

  • Optionally activate chemically for uniform adhesion.

Plating:

  • Maintain bath temperature at 55–60 °C and recommended voltage/current settings.

  • Ensure even movement or agitation for uniform layer formation.

  • Mask areas if selective plating is required.

Post-treatment:

  • Rinse with clean water and dry after plating.

  • Light polishing can enhance shine if desired.


Safety Information

Rose gold electrolytes contain chemical components and must be handled carefully:

  • Wear gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes

  • Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs

  • Work only in well-ventilated areas

  • Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children

  • Dispose of waste according to local chemical regulations

Even though the electrolyte is cyanide-free, chemical reactions and fumes remain potential hazards.


Conclusion

The Rose Gold Electrolyte BMG‑118AM is a powerful and versatile 18 K rose gold plating solution. It provides fast, glossy, and warm-colored layers suitable for decorative jewelry, accessories, and technical applications. Easy to use in tank, brush, or pen/peg plating, it is ideal for hobbyists, workshops, and professional plating operations. Stable plating parameters ensure high-quality, consistent rose gold finishes.

Carbon Electrode 6mm

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)

Anode sleeve fuzzy

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.
