Zinc Electrode

Product information "Blue Chromating - Blue Passivation" from Betzmann Galvanik   Fields of application Blue chromating is used to protect existing zinc coatings or galvanically applied zinc coatings from oxidation and "tarnishing". It thus provides protection against zinc oxidation, but can hardly or not remove already existing oxidation. Furthermore, the slight yellowing caused by the brighteners of the Betzmann Galvanik zinc electrolyte after galvanizing can be removed by blue chromating. In this way, the galvanized objects are given a noble and visually appealing finish. In addition, chromating is often applied to aluminum workpieces. Blue chromating data  pH value: 2 - 3 Working temperature: room temperature (20 30°C) Immersion time: 15 s to 2 min     Effect of immersion time in blue chromate coating Tauchzeit [s] ffekt 5 - ­ 15 the yellowing caused by brighteners disappears 15 - ­ 45 bluish shimmering, glossy surface 45 -­ 120 Becomes increasingly matt  Corrosion protection increases   Use of the blue chromate Place the blue chromate in a suitable container and immerse the galvanized object in the chromate for a time between 15 and 120 seconds. Chromating must be done as soon as possible after galvanizing, otherwise a passivation layer will form on the zinc, making chromating impossible. With an immersion time of only 15 s, the yellow coloration disappears (see above). As the immersion time increases (approx. 30 s), a slightly bluish shimmering surface develops. If the immersion time is even longer, a more matte effect can be achieved. This layer then also has the highest corrosion resistance, although it is not as shiny. The times mentioned are not binding, it also depends on the condition of the zinc coating, temperature, etc. Therefore, check regularly whether the result corresponds to your wishes. Important to know: the zinc layer is removed by chromating! However, a maximum of 2 µm after a dipping time of 4 min.   Safety advice Causes skin irritation. Causes severe eye irritation.  Wash hands thoroughly after use. Wear protective gloves / protective clothing / eye protection / face protection. Wear face protection. IF ON SKIN: Wash with plenty of water. If skin irritation occurs: Seek medical advice / medical attention. Remove contaminated clothing. IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove existing contact lenses if possible. Continue rinsing.   Disposal   Please contact your local waste disposal company or your pollutant collection point for information.        

Tin - Zinc Our latest development in alloy plating solutions is one that plates 70% tin and 30% zinc. Our tin zinc alloy plating solution is an environmentally friendly alternative to cadmium plating. It is two to three times more effective than cadmium and up to ten times better than zinc. The picture opposite illustrates the effectiveness of the process. Tin/zinc can also serve as a base coat for gold when plating on to steel and iron parts. Tin/zinc plates dull, but can easily be polished to high lustre with MetaPrep, MetaPrep Ultra or the Hand Polishing Kit. Tin/zinc has the following main advantages: An excellent alternative to highly toxic cadmium. Very good corrosion resistance Excellent solderability Very ductile Plates a uniform thickness, even in recesses.   Features Used for Compositions of 70% tin, 30% zinc – environmentally friendly alternative to cadmium A base coat for gold when plating on to steel and iron 2-3 times more effective than cadmium and 10 times better than zinc Coating steel to dramatically slow down corrosion, particularly in salt water Can be easily soldered plating when further construction work is necessary Plates to a uniform thickness, even in recesses Plating jobs where plating to specific thicknesses is an important consideration Very ductile Plating items that will need to have some flexibility    Tech Tip; Tin/zinc plates dull, but can easily be polished to high lustre with MetaPrep, MetaPrep Ultra or the Hand Polishing Kit.        Signal word: Caution H-phrases: H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Product information "Zinc electrolyte".   Product description: Betzmann Galvanik Zinkelektrolyt - the product properties at a glance: acidic zinc electrolyte ideally suited for bath and pin electroplating ideally suited as corrosion and rust protection for application on iron easy to use and cyanide-free   The all-rounder for corrosion protection of iron and steel. Both in the automotive sector or for outdoor applications in home and garden:  Galvanic zinc plating with Betzmann Galvanic Zinc Electrolyte provides lasting protection against rust holes, rust spots and bodywork destruction,  z. e.g. for classic cars (classic car restoration). If, for example, you are tired of seeing the paint layer flaking off again and again in the same places due to rust pitting,  you now have the right solution:    The galvanic coating with zinc effectively protects workpieces made of iron and steel from rust and gives a visually appealing surface due to the light color.  The process is also known as e-zinc and has the advantage that the parts to be coated do not even have to be removed. need to be removed.   The zinc electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik is excellently suited for both bath and pen electroplating.  With the weakly acidic, cyanide-free zinc electrolyte, you can easily electroplate yourself! recommended current density: 2.5 Ampere/cm² (bath electroplating)   required voltage: approx. 1-3 volts for bath electroplating, 1-5 volts for pin electroplating Recommended electrode. Zinc electrode 6mm   With our zinc electrolyte you can among other things: repair rust holes on your car yourself galvanize sheet metal restore oldtimers Galvanize screws repair and permanently protect rust damage (spot repair) Restore model parts / protect against rust partial repair of rust spots on railings, stairs and other components (no disassembly required)   Please read our product instructions for galvanizing yourself and follow the working instructions for galvanizing.  Suitable galvanizing equipment and accessories can be found in the www.betzmann-galvanik.de store.

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.
