Silver Electrolyte BMG‑103.8 High-quality silver plating solution – 30 g of silver per liter Short Description The Silver Electrolyte BMG‑103.8 is a ready-to-use electroplating solution formulated for the electrolytic deposition of bright, high-quality silver layers. With 30 grams of silver per liter, it produces uniform, reflective, and conductive silver coatings suitable for both decorative and functional applications. The deposited silver layer provides excellent optical brightness, good wear resistance, and high electrical conductivity, ideal for jewelry, electronics, and precision components. Applications This silver plating solution is used for: Decorative silver plating for jewelry, accessories, and ornamental items Functional plating to improve electrical and thermal conductivity Wear-resistant surfaces and protective coatings Tank, brush, and pen/peg plating, depending on equipment Multi-layer plating systems (e.g., copper → silver → gold) Silver plating enhances both aesthetic appeal and surface performance, especially where brightness and conductivity are important. How Silver Plating Works (Simple Explanation) Silver plating uses electrolytic deposition, where silver ions in the electrolyte are reduced under direct current and form a metal layer on a prepared surface: Surface Preparation: Clean and degrease the workpiece thoroughly to remove oils and contaminants. Activation: Activate the surface if necessary to ensure good adhesion. Electroplating: Connect the part as the cathode (negative pole) and apply direct current; silver ions migrate and deposit as a smooth, bright layer. Finishing: After plating, rinse and dry – the silver layer remains bright and reflective. The resulting silver coating is uniform, glossy, and durable. Benefits of Silver Electrolyte BMG‑103.8 Bright, reflective silver finish Good electrical and thermal conductivity Suitable for decorative and functional applications Compatible with tank, brush, and pen/peg plating Produces uniform and durable deposits Ideal for jewelry, electronics, contacts, and connectors Technical Parameters PropertyValue / RangeElectrolyte typeSilver electroplating solutionSilver contentapprox. 30 g/LpHslightly acidic to neutral, optimized for silver depositionOperating temperature15–30 °CVoltage (tank plating)1.5–3.5 VVoltage (brush/pen plating)3–7 VCurrent density0.5–3 A/dm²Anode materialGraphite or pure silverTypical deposit thickness1–5 µm (adjustable by time/parameters)Surface appearanceBright and smoothDeposit purity>99.9 % silverConductivityVery goodShelf life1–2 years Note: Values are practical guidelines and may vary slightly depending on equipment, setup, and application conditions. Practical Application Tips Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean and degrease workpieces to remove grease, oils, and fingerprints. Perform activation if necessary for uniform adhesion. Silver Plating: For tank plating, maintain consistent voltage, current density, and electrolyte circulation. For brush or pen plating, keep tools moving steadily for even coverage. Masking: Use masking tape or resist materials for areas not to be plated. Post-Plating: Rinse plated parts with clean water. Dry and, if desired, gently polish to enhance brightness. Safety Information Silver electrolytes are chemical solutions and must be handled carefully: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety glasses, and protective clothing Avoid contact with skin and eyes; rinse immediately if contact occurs Work only in well-ventilated areas Do not ingest; keep out of reach of children Dispose of waste according to local chemical and environmental regulations Silver salts and electrolytes may cause irritation; proper protective measures are essential for safe use. Conclusion The Silver Electrolyte BMG‑103.8 is a reliable and versatile electroplating solution that delivers bright, uniform, and conductive silver layers for both decorative and functional purposes. Its ease of use across tank, brush, and pen/peg plating processes, combined with excellent optical and technical properties, makes it suitable for hobbyists, workshops, and professional plating environments. Proper surface preparation and process control ensure high-quality silver finishes every time.

Gold Whitener BMG-122.3 – Mixing Solution for Adjusting Gold Shades Short Description: The Gold Whitener BMG-122.3 is a specially developed mixing solution used in electroplating to lighten gold colors or modify gold tones. When mixed with a standard gold electrolyte, it allows the creation of a wide range of shades – from classic 18-karat yellow gold to champagne or white-gold-like tones. What is the Gold Whitener? The Gold Whitener is an additive (mixer) that is combined with a regular gold electrolyte to adjust and brighten the color of the deposited gold layer. Depending on the mixing ratio, it can produce elegant 18-karat gold tones, lighter yellow gold, champagne shades, or even white-gold-like finishes. What is it used for? Adjusting gold colors: Create lighter or softer gold shades such as 18 K, 14 K, champagne, or white-gold-like tones. Flexible color control: The more Gold Whitener added, the lighter the resulting gold color. Compatible with standard gold electrolytes: No need for a separate base electrolyte – simply mix with your existing gold solution. Application & Mixing Ratio Standard mixture: Mix 2 ml Gold Whitener with 10 ml gold electrolyte to achieve a typical 18-karat gold tone. Lighter shades: Higher proportions of Gold Whitener result in lighter gold or champagne tones. Can also be used undiluted if required. Recommended electrodes: Platinum electrode – for fine, uniform, high-quality coatings Graphite electrode – versatile and widely used Properties & Technical Data Operating voltage: approx. 3.0 – 5.0 V Operating temperature: approx. 18 – 25 °C (room temperature) Gold concentration: approx. 8 – 4 g/l in the electrolyte Coating characteristics: Gold content of the deposit: from 99.9 % (yellow gold) down to approx. 75 % (light, white-gold-like shade) Deposition rate (at approx. 3.5 V with platinum electrode): approx. 0.5 µm per minute (spot plating) Hardness: approx. 220 Hv (yellow gold) to 550 Hv (white-gold-like) Density of the deposit: 15.0 – 19.0 g/cm³ Shelf life: More than 3 years under normal storage conditions Advantages & Applications Highly flexible: Enables a wide range of gold color variations using one base electrolyte Customer-specific finishes: Ideal for matching individual color requirements Cost-effective: No need to maintain multiple gold electrolytes Safety & Notes Not suitable for stainless steel electrode systems during electroplating processes (except for degreasing, activating, or dechroming). Always follow the safety instructions and product documentation provided. Conclusion The Gold Whitener BMG-122.3 is a versatile professional mixing solution for creating lighter gold shades, champagne tones, and white-gold-like finishes. By simply adjusting the mixing ratio with a standard gold electrolyte, you gain full control over the final gold color – from classic 18-karat yellow gold to very light, elegant tones.
