Product information "Rosegold Mixer"
Rosegold Mixer - Betzmann Galvanoshop:
Simply add Rose Gold Mixer to K-Gold to plate fabulously warm, lustrous tones of rose gold.
All you need to do is mix the two together to create just the right amount of solution you need.
We recommend you buy the mixing kit to make sure you measure out the correct ratios.
A 1:10 mix will give you a darker shade of rose gold commonly used for eastern European jewellery,
while a mix of 2:10 gives a mix not too dissimilar to highly polished pure copper, however this one does not tarnish.
If plating on to stainless steel, nickel or its alloys, first plate a layer of 24 carat gold or Goldflash to
give a good, solid base on which to plate your Rose Gold layer.
Features | Used for |
Rose gold plate is very hard compared to pure gold. | Great for plating items subject to a high-wear environment (jewellery). |
Plates fast. | Reduces plating time. |
When mixed with K-Gold, creates the classic warm tones of rose gold. | Selective plating of a range of personal items for example jewellery and watch cases and straps. Can be used on larger items such as silverware and picture frames. |
Redder deposits can be obtained by increasing the volume of mixer. | Greater flexibility in colour matching. |
Consistency of alloy throughout process sequence. | Very useful especially when plating large work or plating to higher thickness: the shade of gold plated doesn’t change. |
