The White Palladium Electrolyte is ideally suited for: Bright, silver-white palladium coatings Decorative metal surfaces Jewellery and jewellery components Watches and accessories Electronic components Electrical contacts Precision parts Corrosion protection Nickel-free coating systems Barrier layers before gold plating Preparation for subsequent precious-metal coatings Palladium provides a high-quality surface and, compared with silver, offers significantly better resistance to tarnishing. Palladium as a Barrier Layer Before Gold Plating One particularly important application is the use of palladium as a barrier layer before subsequent gold plating. A typical multilayer coating system may consist of: Base material → Copper → Palladium → Gold The palladium layer separates the base material from the gold coating and acts as a barrier and diffusion layer. This can help prevent unwanted interaction between the individual metal layers and allows a high-quality and durable gold coating to be produced. How Does Palladium Electroplating Work? During electroplating, palladium ions contained in the electrolyte are deposited onto the workpiece as metallic palladium using direct current. 1. Preparation Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece. 2. Electrical Connection Connect the workpiece as the cathode (negative pole). 3. Palladium Deposition The electrical current reduces the palladium ions at the workpiece surface, depositing metallic palladium. 4. Post-Treatment After plating, thoroughly rinse the workpiece with clean water and dry it. Suitable Base Materials The electrolyte can be used on appropriately prepared surfaces of various metals, including: Copper Brass Nickel Silver Gold Suitable dechromed surfaces The required pretreatment depends on the specific base material. For optimum adhesion, the surface must be clean, grease-free and properly activated.

Application Instructions Preparation Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece. Residues of oil, grease, polishing compounds and dirt can negatively affect adhesion and coating quality. Electroplating Heat the electrolyte to the recommended working temperature of 48–52 °C. Connect the workpiece as the cathode and set the recommended voltage. Gentle movement of the electrolyte can help produce a more uniform coating. Post-Treatment After plating, thoroughly rinse the workpiece with clean water and dry it. If required, the surface can subsequently be lightly polished to further enhance the appearance. White Palladium for Jewellery and Skin Contact Palladium is particularly suitable for applications where a nickel-free surface is desired. The bright, silver-white appearance makes the electrolyte suitable for: Rings Chains Pendants Bracelets Watches Jewellery components High-quality accessories White Palladium for Technical Applications In addition to its decorative applications, palladium also offers interesting technical properties. The coating can be used for: Electrical contacts Electronic components Precision parts Technical components Corrosion protection Multilayer precious-metal coating systems The combination of high hardness, corrosion resistance and low porosity makes palladium a versatile coating metal. Practical Tips for Optimum Results ✔ Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece. ✔ Prepare the surface according to the base material. ✔ Use a clean platinum or graphite anode. ✔ Heat the electrolyte to 48–52 °C. ✔ Keep the electrode distance as constant as possible. ✔ Use only gentle bath movement. ✔ Thoroughly rinse after plating. ✔ If gold plating follows, process the clean palladium surface without unnecessary delay. Safety Information The electrolyte is classified as irritating. H315: Causes skin irritation. H319: Causes serious eye irritation. H412: Harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects.

White Gold Mixer BMG-120M – Mixing Solution for White Gold Shades Short Description: The White Gold Mixer BMG-120M is a specialized mixing solution used in electroplating to create white gold coatings or to lighten existing gold tones. It is added to a base gold electrolyte and is nickel-free, making it suitable for electroplated items that come into direct contact with skin. What is the White Gold Mixer? The White Gold Mixer is a liquid additive that is mixed with a gold electrolyte to produce a harder, white-colored gold layer. The resulting color is typically light gray to pale white, which reflects the natural appearance of white gold alloys. For a bright, classic white finish, a final top coating with rhodium, palladium, or platinum is often applied after white gold plating. What is it used for? Creating white gold coatings by mixing with a standard gold electrolyte Lightening or modifying gold shades, including subtle white or pale rose tones when combined with other mixers Suitable for electroplated items with skin contact, as the solution is completely nickel-free Application & Mixing Ratio Mix the White Gold Mixer with a base gold electrolyte in a ratio of 2:10 (2 parts mixer to 10 parts gold electrolyte) Typical operating voltage: approx. 4 V Can be used at room temperature; no heating required Recommended electrodes: Platinum electrode – for fine, uniform coatings Graphite electrode – universal and widely used Properties & Characteristics Nickel-free: Ideal for jewelry and skin-contact applications Color effect: Produces a light, white gold tone; can also brighten rose gold shades Compatible: Works with standard gold electrolytes used in pen or tampon electroplating Technical Notes White gold alloys naturally appear grayish to silvery; the bright white finish typically requires an additional rhodium, palladium, or platinum top layer The mixer is not a standalone electrolyte and must always be used in combination with a gold electrolyte Best results are achieved with clean, well-prepared surfaces and fresh electrolyte solutions Safety & Handling Avoid direct skin contact; wear protective gloves and safety goggles Use only in well-ventilated areas Follow all safety instructions provided with the product documentation Conclusion The White Gold Mixer BMG-120M is a professional additive for producing high-quality white gold electroplated coatings and color adjustments. It expands the range of achievable gold shades and is especially suitable for jewelry, accessories, and decorative metal objects that require nickel-free finishes.
