Galvano Activator BMG-061.2 Surface activator and pickling solution for electroplating applications Short Description The Galvano Activator BMG-061.2 is a specially formulated chemical solution used for activating metal surfaces prior to electroplating. It removes thin oxide and passive layers that prevent proper adhesion of electroplated coatings and restores a chemically active metal surface. The activator is an essential preparation step for achieving uniform, adherent and high-quality electroplated layers, such as nickel, gold, silver or chromium coatings. What is the activator used for? The activator is used to: remove thin oxide and passive layers from metal surfaces activate metals after degreasing and before electroplating improve adhesion and durability of subsequent coatings prepare workpieces for professional electroplating processes It is commonly applied to: steel and passive nickel surfaces copper, brass and copper alloys preparation before nickel plating, silver plating, gold plating or chromium plating How does the activator work? (simple explanation) Even after thorough cleaning and degreasing, metal surfaces often remain covered by microscopic oxide layers that are invisible to the eye but block electroplating. The activator works by: Dissolving and removing thin oxide and passive layers Chemically activating the metal surface Allowing the next electroplated layer to adhere evenly and securely This results in better coating quality, improved adhesion and longer service life of the plated surface. Application Instructions (practical guidance) Preparation Before using the activator, the workpiece should be polished if required and thoroughly degreased, e.g. with a suitable electrocleaner. Application Method 1 – Without electrical current (immersion) Immerse the workpiece in the activator for 30–60 seconds Rinse briefly with clean water Proceed with electroplating within 10–30 minutes to prevent re-oxidation Application Method 2 – With electrical assistance (brush / pen activation) Use a stainless steel or graphite electrode Apply approx. 2.7 V DC Treat the surface with gentle circular movements for about 30 seconds Tip: Begin electroplating as soon as possible after activation, as metal surfaces oxidize quickly when exposed to air. Advantages of Galvano Activator BMG-061.2 Effectively removes invisible oxide and passive layers Ensures optimal surface activation before electroplating Improves adhesion and uniformity of plated coatings Suitable for various metals and alloys Can be used with or without electrical current Proven product for hobby, workshop and professional use Safety Information The activator is a chemical solution and must be handled with appropriate care: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles and protective clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes In case of contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water Use only in well-ventilated areas Keep out of reach of children Warning: May cause serious eye irritation. Proper protective equipment is mandatory. Scope of Delivery Galvano Activator BMG-061.2 Quantity according to selection Conclusion The Galvano Activator BMG-061.2 is an essential preparation product for professional electroplating. By removing oxide layers and activating metal surfaces, it ensures reliable adhesion, uniform coatings and consistently high-quality electroplated results — for both beginners and professionals.
