White Palladium Electrolyte 2 g/L – High-Quality Palladium Plating for Pen, Tampon & Tank Plating
Electroplate White Palladium – for Bright, Silver-White and High-Quality Surfaces
The White Palladium Electrolyte with 2 g/L palladium content is a high-quality plating electrolyte for producing bright, silver-white palladium coatings.
The ready-to-use electrolyte is suitable for pen plating, tampon plating and tank plating, allowing both precise selective coating of individual areas and uniform coating of complete workpieces.
Palladium combines an elegant silver-white appearance with excellent corrosion resistance and is suitable for both decorative and technical applications. Palladium is particularly interesting as an intermediate and barrier layer before subsequent gold plating.

Why Electroplate Palladium?
Palladium offers an attractive combination of elegant appearance, durability and technical functionality.
The electroplated palladium layer has a bright, silver-white appearance and can be used both as a decorative final coating and as a functional intermediate layer.
Palladium is also an interesting choice where a nickel-free surface is required, for example for jewellery and objects that come into contact with the skin.
Palladium as a Barrier Layer Before Gold Plating
Palladium is ideally suited for multilayer electroplating systems.
A typical coating structure can be:
Base material → Copper → Palladium → Gold
The palladium layer acts as a diffusion and barrier layer between the substrate and the final gold coating.
This can help prevent unwanted interactions between the individual metal layers and allows a high-quality, colour-stable gold finish to be achieved.
Suitable for Pen Plating, Tampon Plating and Tank Plating
The White Palladium Electrolyte is highly versatile.
Pen Plating
Ideal for:
- Spot plating
- Repair work
- Small workpieces
- Selective coating
- Difficult-to-reach areas
Tampon Plating
Suitable for:
- Larger local areas
- Complex geometries
- Repair plating
- Mobile plating applications
Tank Plating
Ideal for:
- Complete workpieces
- Uniform coatings
- Workshop applications
- Larger components
Suitable Base Materials
The White Palladium Electrolyte can be used on suitable metallic surfaces and properly prepared electroplated intermediate layers.
Suitable substrates may include:
- Copper
- Brass
- Nickel
- Silver
- Gold
- Suitable dechromed surfaces
The required pretreatment always depends on the specific base material.
For optimum adhesion, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned, degreased and properly activated.
Application
Thoroughly clean and degrease the workpiece before plating.
Depending on the base material, suitable activation or an intermediate layer may be required.
Then use the White Palladium Electrolyte according to the selected plating process.
For pen and tampon plating, move the electrode evenly across the surface to be coated.
For tank plating, completely immerse the workpiece in the electrolyte.
After plating, thoroughly rinse the workpiece with water and dry it.

Palladium can be used both as a decorative final coating and as a technical protective and barrier layer.
Palladium as an Alternative to Other Bright Precious Metals
Palladium provides a high-quality silver-white metallic appearance and is suitable for applications where an elegant and durable surface is required.
Compared with silver, palladium offers high resistance to tarnishing and is therefore particularly suitable for long-lasting decorative surfaces.
Palladium can also be an interesting alternative to rhodium when a different combination of appearance, hardness and technical performance is desired.
Practical Tips for Optimum Results
✔ Thoroughly degrease the workpiece before plating.
✔ Activate the surface according to the base material.
✔ Use clean electrodes.
✔ Keep the electrode distance as constant as possible.
✔ During pen and tampon plating, move the electrode evenly.
✔ Avoid unnecessary contamination of the electrolyte.
✔ Thoroughly rinse the workpiece after plating.
✔ When using multilayer coating systems, carefully coordinate the individual layers.
