Chrome Stripper

Nickel stripper strips nickel plating from steel, copper, brass and silver easily and delivers the following pluses; Ready-to-use solution: no need for mixing Low hazzard Stripping rates of up to 50 microns per hour at 62 °C High capacity (1 litre can strip 40 grams of nickel) Low odour: minimum ventilation needed Supplied as a one-component, ready-to-use solution Non-electrolytic stripper: no need for a separate rectifier Long bath life Can be shipped worldwide Operating Conditions Temperature Range 50 -65 °C (see notes) Tank Glass (see notes below), steel or polypropylene Agitation Mechanical (stirrer). Never use air agitation Stripping rate See notes below Stripping capacity Can strip up to 40 grams of nickel per litre Special storage requirements None Shelf life 1 – 2 years Health and Safety classification Irritant Special considerations None Transport (UN number) None: Not classified as dangerous for transport   Notes: Tanks should be made of stainless steel, polypropylene or glass. If using glass,return the solution (cooled) to the container after use. Heating should be provided by a Teflon-coated stirring bar (if stripping in a beaker). For larger installations, stainless steel or titanium-sheaved heaters should be used. Stripping rates can be almost doubled by using light mechanical agitation: Stripping rate at 50°C = 10  microns per hour (no agitation) Stripping rate at 50°C = 17  microns per hour (with agitation) Stripping rate at 62°C = 50 microns per hour (with agitation) Black smut remaining can be removed by ultrasonic cleaning or scouring with pad. 

Stainless Steel Electrode 6mm:   This electrode is ideal for chrome stripping and electro-cleaning. To swap over to a stainless steel electrode, simply loosen the existing electrode and fit in the new one.  Stainless steel electrodes should not be used for any other processes such as the metal can cause contamination  of the plating solution resulting in considerable wastage of gold metal.    Selecting the best electrode for the job is very important.  

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.    

Galvano activator and decapping agent in one - stainless steel and nickel activator in one - from Betzmann GalvanikThe GALVANO AKTIVATOR from Betzmann Galvanik removes oxide layers on base metals to enable electroplating or electroless plating. The electroplating activator is required, for example, for electroless nickel plating of aluminium or to activate stainless steel, nickel, brass and chrome for electroplating.Discover the versatile application of the activator or decapping agent in electroplating! The activator / decapping agent is an indispensable aid for the decapping and preparation of surfaces before plating in the electroplating industry. It is used to activate surfaces of metals such as steel, copper and copper alloys as well as passive nickel layers. Decapitation removes impurities from surfaces and simultaneously prepares them for the plating process. This process is crucial to ensure optimum adhesion and durability of the coating. After alkaline pre-treatment, the decapping agent is also perfect for neutralising. It ensures that work with sulphuric or hydrochloric acid is no longer necessary, which not only increases efficiency but also improves work safety.With Betzmann Galvanik's decapping agent, you can effectively pre-treat the surface of your products to achieve high-quality electroplated coatings. Rely on its proven performance to optimise your electroplating processes and achieve outstanding results.Field of application: Pre-treatment and cleaner - General applicationThe object is either immersed in the activator for 30 to 60 seconds and then briefly rinsed with clear water or coated with the pad for at least 30 seconds from 2.7 volts. The activator removes thin layers of oxide that are invisible to the naked eye. Carry out further coating quickly after the activator bath, as these layers quickly form again with atmospheric oxygen (time period: max. 10 - 30 minutes) Recommended electrode: Stainless steel electrode or graphite electrode!  Recommended voltage: from 2.7 volts Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Signal word: Warning Pictograms: H319 Causes serious eye irritation Hazard statements P280 Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection.
