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.

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.

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.
