Black Ruthenium 5 G./L.

Product information "Black Ruthenium 5 G./L."

 Black Ruthenium from Betzmann Galvanik

 Product information “Black ruthenium bath with 5 gram / L Ru

 

The black ruthenium bath deposits dark to gray-black ruthenium layers. The ruthenium electrolyte works to maintain gloss and a high level of color consistency is achieved. The coatings are non-slip and impress with their decorative color. The maximum achievable coating thickness is 0.2-0.5 µm. For base metals or silverware, pre-gilding or a palladium layer is strongly recommended as an undercoat.

Anode Fabric Pad Sleeve Fluffy BMG-015 – Uniform Coating & Maximum Control The Anode Fabric Pad Fluffy BMG-015 is a specially designed accessory for pen plating and tampon electroplating, ensuring consistent electrolyte distribution and controlled coating processes. Thanks to its fluffy, high-volume structure, the pad absorbs electrolyte efficiently and releases it evenly and continuously onto the surface. This results in clean, uniform and high-quality metal coatings, even in demanding applications. Key Benefits at a Glance Excellent electrolyte absorption and release Uniform liquid and current distribution Ideal for precise and controlled plating Suitable for: Pen plating Tampon plating Reduces streaking and uneven deposits Flexible and easy to replace Applications Selective metal plating Repair and touch-up work Fine detail applications Jewelry finishing Technical surface treatments Technical Parameters Product Type: Anode fabric pad (fluffy) Item Number: BMG-015 Material: High-absorbency textile fabric Structure: Fluffy / high-volume Function: Electrolyte carrier for anode applications Application Areas: Pen plating Tampon plating Electrolyte Absorption: Very high Electrolyte Release: Even and controlled Current Distribution: Supports uniform deposition Reusability: Limited (depending on application) Replacement: Quick and easy Application – Step by Step 1. Preparation Soak the fabric pad with the appropriate electrolyte Allow excess liquid to drip off slightly Attach to the anode or plating pen 2. Pen Plating Application Move the pad evenly across the surface Maintain consistent contact Control voltage and movement Ensures precise and clean results 3. Tampon Plating Application Use the pad as an electrolyte carrier Apply even pressure Maintain continuous motion  Ideal for selective plating applications Pro Tips for Best Results Replace pad regularly for consistent quality Avoid over-saturation → better control Uniform movement prevents streaks Always use clean electrolyte Conclusion The Anode Fabric Pad Fluffy BMG-015 is an essential accessory for achieving precise, uniform and high-quality results in pen and tampon electroplating. It ensures optimal control, clean finishes and significantly improved coating performance.

Carbon Electrode 6mm

Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) Short Description The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) is a durable, chemically inert electrode rod made from high‑density fine‑grain graphite. Designed for use as an anode or electrode in electroplating processes, it is ideal for bath, pen, and pad plating applications where a clean, metal‑free current supply is essential.  Product Description This graphite electrode is manufactured from highly compressed fine‑grain graphite, which dissolves only slowly in electrolytes. Unlike metallic anodes, graphite does not shed contaminating metal particles, ensuring cleaner coatings and higher deposit quality.  The 6 mm diameter rod, with an approximate length of 95 mm, fits standard plating fixtures, holders, and pen plating tools, making it easy to integrate into various electroplating setups Typical Applications Electroplating processes (e.g., silver, gold, copper, black nickel, chrome, white bronze) Pen, bath, and pad plating Activation and pre‑treatment steps Counter‑electrode or anode use in a wide range of electrolytes Situations where metal contamination must be avoided Key Benefits Chemically inert: prevents unwanted metal ion contamination in the plating bath. Versatile: compatible with most electroplating chemistries and techniques.  Slow wear: dissolves gradually, extending service life. Affordable: cost‑effective solution for frequent use.  Easy to use: fits common plating holders and pen plating tools. Material & Dimensions Material: High‑density fine‑grain graphite Diameter: 6 mm Length: approx. 95 mm (other lengths may be available)  Practical Tips Ensure electrodes are clean and free of oils before use.  Replace electrodes periodically as they slowly dissolve during electroplating. Graphite’s mild warming effect can help stabilize bath temperature during plating. Conclusion The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm is an effective and reliable anode/electrode for a wide range of electroplating applications. Its inert behavior, broad compatibility, and metal‑free current delivery make it a solid choice for hobbyists, workshops, labs, and professional plating operations.
