Gold Whitener BMG-122.3 – Mixing Solution for Adjusting Gold Shades
Short Description:
The Gold Whitener BMG-122.3 is a specially developed mixing solution used in electroplating to lighten gold colors or modify gold tones. When mixed with a standard gold electrolyte, it allows the creation of a wide range of shades – from classic 18-karat yellow gold to champagne or white-gold-like tones.
What is the Gold Whitener?
The Gold Whitener is an additive (mixer) that is combined with a regular gold electrolyte to adjust and brighten the color of the deposited gold layer. Depending on the mixing ratio, it can produce elegant 18-karat gold tones, lighter yellow gold, champagne shades, or even white-gold-like finishes.
What is it used for?
-
Adjusting gold colors:
Create lighter or softer gold shades such as 18 K, 14 K, champagne, or white-gold-like tones. -
Flexible color control:
The more Gold Whitener added, the lighter the resulting gold color. -
Compatible with standard gold electrolytes:
No need for a separate base electrolyte – simply mix with your existing gold solution.
Application & Mixing Ratio
-
Standard mixture: Mix 2 ml Gold Whitener with 10 ml gold electrolyte to achieve a typical 18-karat gold tone.
-
Lighter shades: Higher proportions of Gold Whitener result in lighter gold or champagne tones.
-
Can also be used undiluted if required.
Recommended electrodes:
-
Platinum electrode – for fine, uniform, high-quality coatings
-
Graphite electrode – versatile and widely used
