Cleaner - Degrease

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. P305+P351+P338 IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove any contact lenses if possible. Continue rinsing. P337+P313 If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.    

Electrocleaner - degreaser from Real Gold Betzmann:   We have put a lot of research and development work into this product to ensure that it enables completely safe and harmless work, thoroughly cleans and degreases conductive material and does not attack other substances such as varnish or paint.    Using electricity, from 8 volts, it removes the most stubborn residues of dirt and reduces the oxide layers of metals before activation. This product can be used on all substrates. The Cleaner cleans effortlessly tarnished Silver and also removes oxide layers from copper and brass.   Please note: Our Elektrocleaner does not contain caustic soda - sodium hydroxide - which is corrosive and dangerous too.   Betzmann Galvanic Degreaser - our all-round degreasing agent for cleaning metals and all metal surfaces   For perfect and shiny surface coating it is essential to remove residues from the workpiece, to free fats and oxides. Adhering grease residues or fingerprints can quickly lead to unsightly results.  With the help of the extraordinary formula of the degreaser you can quickly and easily remove greasy dirt such as lubricants, Remove oil or silicone residues. Briefly brushing or dipping your work piece into the degreasing agent will optimal preparation for the subsequent coating. In this way you can successfully electroplate and coat yourself.      Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Signal word: Warning H319 Causes serious eye irritation.

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.    

Stainless steel electrode 6 mm This electrode is ideal for most work steps. It can mainly be used for degreasing, activating, and dechroming, and is also very good for chromium plating.Important! Stainless steel electrodes can cause contamination of the coating solution in other coating processes. In this case, it is recommended to use a more suitable anode, e.g., made of graphite or platinum. Stainless steel electrodes and, ideally, aluminum electrodes are suitable for chromium plating. Graphite or platinum electrodes are suitable for gold plating. Graphite or silver electrodes are suitable for silver plating. Length: 9.5 cm, diameter 6 mm
