Silver Solution 30 Gramm/Liter

THICKENER: Will thicken up any of our solutions, turning them into a non-drip gel   Features Used for Creates a gel when mixed with our solutions Resulting gel helps prevent the solution from running off the work. This is particularly useful when you are working in-situ, for example gold plating bathroom taps or an architectural feature of a building, where it is impossible to catch the run-off in the normal drip trays      

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.    

Our copper electrolyte alkaline for acid-sensitive metals is cyanide-free! Ideal for bath and tampon - / pin electroplating suitable 50 grams copper / liter For use on iron and zinc metals Easy to use and cyanide free   Ideally suited to copperplate even acid-sensitive materials (iron, zinc or steel). For example, copper plating can also be applied to materials that are attacked by the acidic copper electrolyte - for example, rusting steels or other ferrous materials. Copper plating effectively protects workpieces made of iron and steel against rust and gives them an attractive surface thanks to the typical red luster of the precious metal. Because of its good solderability, electroplated copper plating is ideal for the production of printed circuit boards or similar. Simply use the copper electrolyte together with a copper sheet as anode and you can quickly provide a component with a shiny copper coating yourself. The exact instructions for use can be found in our guide here in the download area! For copper plating of non-acid sensitive materials please use the Betzmann Electroplating Bright Copper Electrolyte.  Alkaline copper electrolyte can be used in bath electroplating as well as in pin electroplating/tampon electroplating. Since it enables electroplating of acid-sensitive metals, it is suitable for many applications. Important properties of alkaline copper electrolyte are excellent leveling and good scattering. This color tone can be further enhanced by an additional coating with our bright copper electrolyte. Applications for Copper Electrolyte Alkaline Copper Alkaline prepares acid-sensitive materials for copper plating with acidic copper electrolyte. These include, for example, various ferrous materials or zinc. A particular advantage is that it does not deposit electrolessly on iron, which would form a loose coating before electrodeposition begins. This increases adhesion to ferrous materials. Basic copper electrolyte serves as an intermediate layer for acid-sensitive metals before final plating with acid electrolytic copper or other coatings. Basic copper electrolyte is suitable for the following metals:   Lead, bronze, iron, copper, brass, zinc, tin, steel, zinc die casting and many others. Basic copper is not suitable for aluminum, chromium and titanium. Aluminum requires pretreatment with aluminum activator Please test all other metals not mentioned above for their suitability for electroplating before copper plating.  Application instructions for copper electrolyte alkaline Copper Electrolyte Alkaline is suitable for all electroplating processes from bath electroplating to pin electroplating / pad electroplating.

White Palladium Electrolyte with 10 Gram per Liter - The allergen-free alternative to nickel! White palladium electroplating or coating with palladium is a rather rarely used galvanic coating. However, white palladium plating can offer some advantages, especially as a substitute for electroplating nickel with a nickel electrolyte.    The advantages of white palladium electrolyte compared to electroless nickel plating: Typically, a nickel electrolyte is used to apply a barrier layer of nickel between copper and gold, preventing the two metals from mixing. However, a palladium plating offers several distinct advantages over the nickel electrolyte:   White palladium is more noble than nickel, meaning no surface corrosion occurs, and the palladium does NOT require extra activation prior to gold plating as nickel does.   The deposition rate and efficiency are excellent, which means there is no unwanted gas evolution. The electrolyte deposits bright silvery white, very light palladium which can be used as a bright "finish". Gold plating with the Betzmann gold electrolyte for pin electroplating achieves an optimum result on palladium. White palladium, in contrast to nickel electrolyte, is not carcinogenic and is therefore also permitted for private users!    A very good combination for gold plating of almost all metals is:  Alkaline or acid copper depending on the metal, palladium and finally gold.  All necessary electrolytes are available in our store. White palladium can be plated on the following metals:  Copper, nickel, brass, silver, gold, on all dechromed surfaces.   Recommended voltages:  Pin electroplating: from 3 volts - Bath electroplating: 3 - 4 volts. Recommended is graphite electrode or platinum electrode from our store. Palladium content: 10 grams per liter   Main benefits;   Makes a great alternative to rhodium plating giving an authentic 18 carat white gold or platinum plated look. palladium plating solution (unlike rhodium) doesn’t etch materials made of calcium carbonate such as pearl and coral, so you won’t have to worry about masking out these materials before submerging them in your palladium plating bath. can be used as a substitute for nickel as a barrier layer for gold plating on copper and its alloys. can be used as an alternative to silver as it doesn’t tarnish and is hard-wearing. Very low porosity – excellent for corrosion protection. Readily wettable by solder and dissolves a lot more slowly than gold in the solder making it an excellent top coat over gold for electrical contacts.

MPU Fine is as the name implies; a fine version of our MPU. It is ideal when working on thin flash coatings of gold as it removes the minimum of metal. If further plating is required, just as with Ultra, then all you have to do is wipe well with a clean paper towel and continue plating.As the particle size is no more than the wavelength of visual light, there is no chance of leaving any scratch.The scratch-free property of MPU makes it excellent for polishing very soft surfaces such as gold and silver plate. Even the smallest solid contaminant on a swab or final polishing cloth will produce a scratch in gold and silver. MPU fine polishes these scratches out whilst protecting the properties of the plated layer.     Features Used for Fine version of MPU Working on thin flash coatings of gold as it removes the minimum amount of metal.

Silver tarnish protection on aqueous basis from Betzmann Galvanik  Product information  Silver tarnish protection based on nanotechnology  gloss, color and electrical properties are retained  simple dipping process  biologically harmless, skin-friendly and hypoallergenic  for decorative and technical applications  suitable for rack,barrel and strip applications Bath description: The passivation process is based on an aqueous basis, in which the organic inhibitor is present in a finely divided emulsion. The passivation layer is applied by  The passivation layer is applied by immersion, creating a transparent, organic protective film that preserves the appearance and good electrical properties of silver,  e.g. contact resistance and conductivity. The good solderability and bondability of silver is not affected by the passivation layer. Generally, passivation is used to protect silver surfaces from the influence of sulfur compounds during storage. It can also be used to protect copper, palladium and thin gold layers from tarnishing. Due to its chemical composition, the protective film has lubricating properties, which is of great advantage for certain electrical connection elements. The plugging and unplugging forces are significantly reduced by the silver tarnish protection from Betzmann Galvanik. This applies not only to silver surfaces, but also to gold-plated sliding and plug contacts. It is also worth noting that the anti-tarnish layer consists of non-hazardous substances, and that its protective effect allows short-term  thermal stress up to 300°C.
