Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) Short Description The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm (BMG‑010) is a durable, chemically inert electrode rod made from high‑density fine‑grain graphite. Designed for use as an anode or electrode in electroplating processes, it is ideal for bath, pen, and pad plating applications where a clean, metal‑free current supply is essential.  Product Description This graphite electrode is manufactured from highly compressed fine‑grain graphite, which dissolves only slowly in electrolytes. Unlike metallic anodes, graphite does not shed contaminating metal particles, ensuring cleaner coatings and higher deposit quality.  The 6 mm diameter rod, with an approximate length of 95 mm, fits standard plating fixtures, holders, and pen plating tools, making it easy to integrate into various electroplating setups Typical Applications Electroplating processes (e.g., silver, gold, copper, black nickel, chrome, white bronze) Pen, bath, and pad plating Activation and pre‑treatment steps Counter‑electrode or anode use in a wide range of electrolytes Situations where metal contamination must be avoided Key Benefits Chemically inert: prevents unwanted metal ion contamination in the plating bath. Versatile: compatible with most electroplating chemistries and techniques.  Slow wear: dissolves gradually, extending service life. Affordable: cost‑effective solution for frequent use.  Easy to use: fits common plating holders and pen plating tools. Material & Dimensions Material: High‑density fine‑grain graphite Diameter: 6 mm Length: approx. 95 mm (other lengths may be available)  Practical Tips Ensure electrodes are clean and free of oils before use.  Replace electrodes periodically as they slowly dissolve during electroplating. Graphite’s mild warming effect can help stabilize bath temperature during plating. Conclusion The Graphite Electrode Ø 6 mm is an effective and reliable anode/electrode for a wide range of electroplating applications. Its inert behavior, broad compatibility, and metal‑free current delivery make it a solid choice for hobbyists, workshops, labs, and professional plating operations.

Graphite Plate Electrode 50 × 80 mm (SW10028) Short Description The Graphite Plate Electrode 50 × 80 mm is a robust, high‑density fine‑grain graphite electrode designed for bath electroplating and electrolysis applications. It offers excellent electrical conductivity, chemical resistance and mechanical stability, making it ideal for use as a working surface or shielding plate in a variety of electroplating setups.  Product Description This graphite plate is made from isostatically pressed, high‑density graphite, known for its superior conductivity and resistance to chemical corrosion and heat. With a thickness of 4 mm, it is suitable for bath plating, electrolytic cleaning, degreasing, gold, silver and chrome plating. Its flat and wide design makes it especially useful as a counter or shielding surface in plating baths — even under elevated temperatures.  Graphite electrodes are widely used because, unlike some metal anodes, they do not release contaminant metal ions into the electrolyte, which can otherwise disturb coating quality.  Typical Applications Bath electroplating for chrome, copper, bronze, gold or silver coatings Electrolytic cleaning and surface preparation Degreasing and activation prior to plating Shield or working surface in electroplating setups High temperature processes where stability is required Key Benefits Large active surface area: perfect for bath and electrolytic applications High electrical conductivity: ensures even current distribution Chemical resistance: suitable for a wide range of electroplating baths Mechanically durable: resistant to wear and tear Versatile: can serve as anode, counter or shield plate Usage Instructions Place the plate directly into the electrolyte or use it as a counter/shield surface. Ensure the graphite is clean and dry before use to maximize conductivity. Remove buildup after extended operation to maintain performance. Due to the material dissolving slowly in electrolytes, periodic replacement may be required.  Conclusion The Graphite Plate Electrode 50 × 80 mm is a versatile and reliable component for electroplating processes, offering a large conductive area, chemical resilience and stable performance that enhances efficiency and consistency in a wide range of plating applications.

Tin Electrolyte BMG‑097 Versatile tin plating solution for corrosion protection and surface finishing Short Description The Tin Electrolyte BMG‑097 is a ready‑to‑use plating solution for electroplating tin onto conductive metals. It produces a uniform, protective tin layer that enhances corrosion resistance, improves surface solderability, and can be polished to a bright finish. This versatile tin plating solution is suitable for hobby, workshop, and professional applications — from cookware to high‑end electronics.  What is this tin electrolyte used for? This tin electrolyte can be applied to: Protect metal surfaces from corrosion and wear Tin‑plate screws, fasteners, and components for improved durability Improve solderability in electronics or plumbing without flux Provide a decorative satin to polished surface finish Serve as a surface finish on copper, nickel, palladium, cobalt, or thin gold layers for enhanced properties  The electrolyte is valued for its low toxicity finish and is even suitable for applications like cookware plating.  How does tin electroplating work? (simple explanation) Tin electroplating uses electrical current to deposit tin from the electrolyte onto a metallic workpiece: The workpiece must be cleaned and degreased before plating. It is connected as the cathode (negative pole) in the plating circuit. A suitable tin or graphite anode is used as the positive pole. When the current flows, tin ions are reduced at the surface and form a tin coating. This coating provides a uniform protective layer that is easy to polish and improves surface performance.  Advantages of Tin Electrolyte BMG‑097 Produces satin to semi‑matte tin finishes that can be polished to shine  Improves solderability without the need for flux Suitable for use on a variety of substrates: copper, nickel, palladium, cobalt, thin gold layers  Air‑sensitive formulation allows excellent results when stored correctly  Easy to integrate into tank plating or brush/pen plating techniques Technical Parameters Below are the typical operating parameters and deposit properties for the tin electrolyte: PropertyTypical Value / RangeElectrolyte typeTin plating solutionpH valueapprox. 3.6–4.0Temperature range14–30 °COperating voltagefrom 3 VTin concentration22 g/LPlating rate~ 3 µm/min at 4 V (graphite anode)Maximum thickness>1000 µm (1 mm)Deposit appearanceMatte to satin, crystalline >20 µmDeposit composition99.9 % tin (balance carbon)Hardness~ 1.5 (Mohs)Deposit density~ 7.289 g/cm³Health classificationIrritant (not transport dangerous) Practical Application Notes Air Sensitivity: The tin electrolyte is sensitive to oxygen. When not in use, keep the cap tightly closed and minimize air exposure in the bottle — e.g., by adding glass beads or storing in a sealed syringe — to prevent solution degradation.  Bath Filtration: For tank plating, continuous filtration is recommended if anode bags are not used.  Polishing: After plating, the tin deposit can be polished with suitable compounds (e.g., Ultra or Ultrafein from Betzmann Galvanik) to achieve a bright finish.  Safety Information Tin electroplating solutions contain acidic components and tin salts and should be handled with appropriate safety measures: Wear chemical‑resistant gloves, eye protection and protective clothing Avoid contact with skin or eyes Rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs Use only in well‑ventilated areas Do not inhale vapors or aerosols Keep out of reach of children The product is classified as an irritant under the EU CLP regulation.
