Chrome remover - Chrome stripper from Betzmann Galvanik :   Our chrome remover effortlessly removes any layer of chrome, regardless of its thickness, and also cleans the surface. Please note: The chrome remover only works with alternating polarity. Handle minus and crocodile clip PLUS. The chrome dissolves yellow and therefore also serves as a test to determine whether the material is actually chrome-plated. The chrome remover does not attack paints and varnishes.   You can remove any chrome quickly and safely with our chrome remover. But what is chrome removal for? It's simple: chrome-plated components are usually coated with an oxide layer and therefore cannot be electroplated.  therefore cannot be electroplated. During dechroming, the chrome layer is removed and the layer underneath is available for electroplating.  available for electroplating. For example, after dechroming, you can coat previously chrome-plated rims or car parts or  all chrome-plated parts yourself. The gloss of the surface is not affected.    You can use the Betzmann electroplating dechromer to Dechrome lettering Dechroming fittings Dechroming rims Dechroming exhaust pipes General chrome removal from chrome-plated components The use of our chrome remover applies to immersion electroplating and pin electroplating / manual electroplating.    Connect the object from which you want to remove the chrome to the positive pole (red) of the power supply unit using a clamp.  Then connect the pin to the negative pole (black). Set a voltage of 6 volts or more and use the pad to pick up the chrome remover.  pick up the chrome remover. Then touch the workpiece with the pad and slowly move the pen around on the chrome surface.  The chrome will turn yellowish.   You can find more detailed instructions on how to carry out the procedure and safety instructions for dechroming in our instructions for use for this product   (see links and downloads).   Operating Parameters   For Brush Stripping   For Tank Stripping Plating Factor –   0.01 – 0.04 A/cm2 Voltage 4 – 6 volts   4 – 6 volts Temperature Room   Room Agitation –   Optional (stirrer) Work piece polarity Positive   Positive Electrode/Anode Carbon (preferred), stainless steel or platinum   Stainless Mesh Electrode (recommended)or Mesh Electrode Processing time 2 microns per minute at 5 volts   1 micron per minute a 5 volts Shelf Life (bottled) Over 5 years   Over 5 years     Labeling according to EC Regulation No. 1272/2008          Signal word: Caution - Corrosive   Precautionary statements: P101 If medical advice is needed, have product container or label at hand.  P102 Keep out of the reach of children.  P260 Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapor/spray.

Galvanic Nickel Electrolyte from Betzmann Galvanik for self-nickel plating Nickel Plating Solution   Our absolutely high-quality galvanic nickel electrolyte has been specially developed for self-nickel plating and may be sold to private individuals without an end-use declaration.   Depending on the material of the workpiece as well as the detailed procedure of nickel plating you will achieve the following results: reliable corrosion protection by a layer combination such as copper-nickel chemically resistant protective layer against diluted acids, alkalis as well as air and water diffusion protection for subsequent electroplating (e.g. diffusion from a base copper layer into the covering gold layer) decorative protective coating with a high-gloss surface, which also serves as wear protection. As an electroplating nickel electrolyte, our product is suitable for bath electroplating as well as for pin electroplating and pad electroplating. During nickel plating, the magnetic properties of the workpiece are retained and it exhibits a high-gloss silver-like color with a subtle yellow tint. Just as convincing as the final result is the high deposition rate exhibited by the nickel electrolyte. Electroplated nickel - decorative or protective coating   If a simply formed workpiece or component is to be provided with a protective layer, we recommend the combination of copper and nickel. In this way, you immediately achieve reliable corrosion protection, which you would otherwise only achieve with pure nickel plating with a layer thickness of 25 to 50 µm. Only at these thicknesses does the coating have the required freedom from pores, since nickel electrolytes always deposit with fine pores. However, electroplated nickel not only protects against corrosion. The coating, which is uncomplicated to apply, is highly resistant to dilute acids and alkalis and serves as wear protection. If several electroplating steps with layers of different metals are planned, an electroplated nickel electrolyte can be used as a barrier layer. In this way, you prevent diffusion or color mixing of different layers. In all processes, it is irrelevant whether you use our nickel electrolyte for bath electroplating or for pin electroplating and pad electroplating. For decorative plating, the combination of bright nickel and chrome is ideal for reliably achieving flat surfaces, although pure bright nickel plating may be sufficient depending on the application.   Application instructions for Betzmann Galvanik's Free Nickel Nickel Electrolyte (bright nickel) Our high-performance Free Nickel Nickel Electrolyte is preferably processed at room temperature (range from 15 to 60 °C). It is suitable for all common metals, semi-precious and precious metals with the exception of aluminum, chrome (dechrome beforehand) and titanium.   If you plan to nickel plate stainless steel yourself, please be sure to use a nickel strike for pretreatment or gold plate in advance with Goldflash. to increase adhesion.   Before galvanic nickel plating, clean the workpiece particularly thoroughly. Remove rust completely and degrease the component, e.g. with isopropanol. Be sure to work with clean disposable gloves to avoid transferring skin grease to the workpiece.   The nickel electrode from Betzmann Galvanik is particularly recommended - this results in a very high range, as the nickel is permanently enriched.   Please pay attention to the following recommendations, depending on the electroplating method used. Parameters: Bath electroplating: 2-5V (approx. 3V recommended at 10cm distance) Pin electroplating: 6-12V (approx. 8-9V recommended) Current density: 0.3-1.2A/dm² (up to 3A/dm² with bath movement) Working temperature: 15-60°C pH value: approx. 4 (can be corrected e.g. with 10% sulphuric acid) Deposition speed: approx. 0.3µm/min at 1A/dm² and 20°C   Identification of the mixture: Signal word: Caution Free nickel (contains nickel sulfate, nickel dichloride, nickel bis(sulfamidate), nickel di(acetate), diammonium nickel bis(sulfate)) GHS07 H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.

Aluminum Pretreatment - Aluminum Activator  A metallically pure surface is essential for successful electroplating.  Aluminum (Al) is a base metal (with a normal potential of -1.6 V) and forms a dense oxide layer within a short time.  a dense oxide layer within a short time. Reliable plating is impossible on an oxide layer.  In order to coat aluminum nevertheless, an intermediate layer, a so-called "zincate layer" is usually is applied. The material can then be gold-plated, copper-plated or otherwise electroplated.  The aluminum activator works perfectly with pure aluminum, and with many Al alloys as well.  should be tested in advance.     Especially aluminum-silicon alloys do not work at all. Please coat only with alkaline copper! This product contains acid. However, you will receive a detailed guide so that you can work safely. We offer here a solution with reduced viscosity, because this has many advantages.   The advantages are: - the lower viscosity reduces the entrapment of the solution in porous casting molds (blistering of the subsequent coating) - lower loss of chemicals (especially in unfavorable molds) - faster deposition - higher safety of deposition on aluminum alloys containing magnesium and silicon.   Aluminiumpreparer: Now you can plate It!
