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.

The metal care product is used for cleaning and polishing surfaces.    With the metal care almost all types of surfaces (except textiles) can be cleaned, treated and sealed with little effort and completely without water! Metal Care from Betzmann Galvanik does not contain acids or alkalis. It is ph-neutral and slowly biodegradable. It is even machine applicable by means of an eccentric polishing machine.      Some examples of use:  Car, boat, motorcycle, bicycle, kitchen, bathroom, ceramics, glass, leather, imitation leather, amarture board, plastic, camper, stainless steel, chrome, glass panes, TV, monitors, glasses, helmets, tiles, mirrors, shoe sole sides,  cell phone displays, store counters, high-gloss fronts, foiling (matt/glossy), advertising and company signs, solar systems, solariums, whirlpools, pools, rims, ovens, acrylic glass, ceramic hobs, CNC machines, chrome fixtures in the bathroom and much more.      Application:  Shake bottle briefly before use. Apply the metal care to the object to be treated and distribute/massage.  Then polish or wipe the lotion away with a clean microfiber cloth.  It can be applied by hand or by machine. For machine application, the care product can be used like a normal polish. For this purpose, apply the agent to the machine polishing attachment and process with gentle pressure. Then polish or wipe off the lotion with a clean microfiber cloth. or wipe clean. Due to its additional cleaning function, the metal care replaces a large number of polishes for automotive reconditioners. Smooth surfaces appear  after the application in their original shine and are sealed (Lotus effect). Dull lacquers are beautifully matt again after application and dirt and grease residues are grease residues are removed. Glass panes become streak-free clean after application and less susceptible to soiling (sealed).  With each new or further application, the protective film/sealing is further built up and the pores in the surface are closed. The product does not contain chalk or wax ingredients like common polishes. Thus also plastics can be polished effortlessly and appear again in the old shine (no white stripes or residues on plastic). The sealing usually lasts between 2-8 weeks (depending on the area of application and stress on the polished object). object).    Notice:  The product should not necessarily be used in the blazing sun, otherwise it may happen that you have to work harder to polish up the product One should also not use the metal care on smooth floors, as this surface then becomes even smoother and possible slipping danger exists.

Flat Platinum Electrode (BMG‑032‑PL) Short Description The Flat Platinum Electrode (BMG‑032‑PL) is a wide, platinum‑coated electrode on a titanium base, designed for electroplating applications where large, relatively flat surfaces need fast, even coverage. It is especially effective when a standard cylindrical electrode is too small.  Product Description This electrode features a flat platinum‑coated surface on titanium, with an active plating area of approximately 4 × 4 cm. The platinum finish provides excellent chemical resistance, high conductivity and long service life in electroplating baths. Because of its broad active area, it enables faster and more uniform plating on larger flat surfaces compared to smaller round electrodes.  Compared to graphite or stainless steel electrodes, the platinum surface minimizes unwanted contamination and delivers cleaner, higher‑quality deposits, making it ideal for demanding plating tasks.  Typical Applications Electroplating large, flat surfaces such as signs, rims, plates or panels Selective plating by masking surrounding areas Workshop, laboratory or commercial plating tasks that require uniform coverage Combined use with pads or swabs for broader contact plating  Key Benefits Large active area: ensures even current distribution for broad coverage Platinum coating: chemically stable and ideal for clean, high‑quality deposits Faster deposition: reduces plating time compared to smaller electrodes Consistent results: uniform layers and reproducible outcomes Flexible compatibility: suitable for gold and other precious metal electrolytes  Usage Instructions Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece; activate surface if needed. Placement: Position the flat platinum electrode in the electrolyte to cover the target area. Plating: Connect to the power supply and maintain voltage within the recommended range for even coverage. Masking: Mask adjacent areas when plating only specific regions. Aftercare: Rinse with clean water and dry after the process; optional polishing enhances finish. Conclusion The Flat Platinum Electrode (BMG‑032‑PL) is an effective, professional‑grade solution for consistent, high‑quality plating of broad surfaces. Its combination of a large active area and platinum’s chemical stability makes it a reliable choice for hobbyists, workshops, and professional electroplating operations.

T Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 Additive for Viscosity Control – Converts Electrolytes into Non-Drip Gels Short Description The Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 is a specially developed chemical additive that increases the viscosity of electroplating solutions, transforming them into non-drip, gel-like media. This is particularly useful for vertical surfaces or complex-shaped objects, allowing for precise and controlled application without dripping. Applications The Gel Thickener is used to: Increase the viscosity of electroplating solutions Enable drip-free coating on vertical or inclined surfaces Allow precise application on complex or fine structures Reduce material loss caused by dripping Achieve decorative effects in electroplated finishes Ensure uniform coating thickness without runs or streaks How the Gel Thickener Works (Simple Explanation) Some electrolytes are thin and may drip on vertical or inclined surfaces. The Gel Thickener is added in a defined amount to create a gel-like solution that stays in place: Prepare the electroplating solution as usual. Measure and add the Gel Thickener (e.g., 1 part thickener to 10 parts electrolyte; adjust according to desired viscosity). Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous, gel-like consistency is achieved. Apply or plate as usual – the gel adheres to the surface without dripping. Adjusting the ratio allows you to fine-tune the gel consistency from lightly gelled to strongly gel-like. Benefits of Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 Significantly increased viscosity for precise, drip-free application Controlled, accurate coating on difficult shapes Reduces material waste due to dripping Ensures uniform layer distribution Easy to dose and use Compatible with various electroplating solutions Technical Parameters (Guideline Values) PropertyValue / RangeProduct typeGel thickener / viscosity additiveUseIncreases viscosity of electroplating solutionsMixing ratio*approx. 1:10 (thickener : electrolyte)ConsistencyFrom lightly gelled to strongly gel-likeTemperatureRoom temperatureStorageCool, dry, tightly closedCompatibilityWith standard electroplating solutionsSafetyChemical additive – use protective measures * Optimal ratio depends on the solution, desired gel strength, and application; testing is recommended. Practical Application Instructions Preparation: Prepare the electroplating solution as usual. Dosage: Slowly add the Gel Thickener to the solution in small increments. Adjust according to the desired viscosity. Mixing: Stir thoroughly until a homogeneous gel is obtained. Let rest briefly to remove air bubbles. Application: Apply the gel to vertical or complex surfaces without dripping. After plating, rinse the parts with clean water and dry carefully. Polishing may enhance the finish. Safety Instructions Wear protective gloves, goggles, and appropriate clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes Rinse immediately with water if contact occurs Use in well-ventilated areas Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children Dispose of according to local chemical regulations Conclusion The Gel Thickener BMG‑121.3 is an effective, easy-to-use additive that converts electroplating solutions into non-drip, gel-like media, enabling precise and controlled coatings on vertical, inclined, or complex surfaces. Its flexibility and ease of use make it an invaluable tool for hobbyists, workshops, and professional electroplaters seeking clean, uniform, and drip-free results.
