Alkaline copper plating solution

Description of the article: Tifoo Acidic bright copper plating solution – the product features at a glance: 1000 ml of acidic copper electrolyte with brighteners ideal for tank- and pen plating easy copper-plating by yourself easy application and cyanide-free Tifoo Bright copper electrolyte (acidic) for copper-plating - bright galvanic copper-plating With the bright copper electrolyte (acidic) from Tifoo, you will achieve a very bright copper layer on metal or conducitve surfaces. Please keep in mind that for all the material susceptible to acids (like e.g. iron, steels, zinc or other base metals), it is better to use the Tifoo Copper electrolyte "alkaline"! Copper-plating iron or steel workpieces protects them from rust and gives them an aesthetic surface because of the red gleam of this metal. Thanks to its good solderability, the galvanic copper-plating is ideal for the fabrication of printed circuit boards and circuit boards. You just have to use the copper electrolyte together with a graphite or copper anode and you already can copper-plate a component yourself. The acidic copper electrolyte is especially used for creating thick copper layers in order to use them as a basis for further surface refining. The gleaming effect is only achieved by using an immersion bath; if you use pen plating, the result will be matt. Application and use: For being able to copper-plate zinc or other base-metals, please use the alkaline copper electrolyte. The acidic bright copper electrolyte is compatible with our complete galvanic kit. Please read also our instruction manual and security notes attentively before using the product (see links and downloads below). We recommend the following combination of copper-plating and following galvanic treatments: 1. bright copper electrolyte (acidic) 2. nickel electrolyte 3. gilding or silver-plating recommended voltage for the bright copper electrolyte for tank plating: 2 – 3 volts pen plating (wont create gleaming layers): 3 – 6 volts Shipping notes: As this item is classified as "hazardous" by REACH / GHS, international shipment is subject to special regulations of the carrier.

Description of the article: Tifoo Palladium plating solution – the product features at a glance: 1 g of palladium / litre Ideal for tank or pen plating Serves as a barrier layer before gilding to avoid alloyings Easy in use and free from cyanide Tifoo Palladium electrolyte - the non-allergenic alternative to nickel electrolyte. Until today, palladium-plating is a quite rarely used electroplating method. In its function as substitution for galvanic nickel-plating, it can offer some advantages (despite the higher price). So, what are its advantages? Normally, a nickel electrolyte is used to create a barrier layer made of nickel between copper and gold to prevent the two metals from mixing together. The advantages are the following: Palladium is more noble than nickel, that means that there is no corrosion on the surface and the palladium doesn't need to be gilded nor activated like nickel. The deposition speed and the effectiveness are excellent, i.e. there is no unwanted gas formation. This electrolyte deposits silver white, very bright palladium and can be used as a bright "finish". When gilding on it with Tifoo Gold electrolyte and pen plating, you will achieve a perfect result. Unlike the nickel electrolyte, palladium isn't cancerogenic and because of that authorised for private costumers! A very good combination for gilding almost any metal is: copper (acidic), palladium and finally gold.Shipping notes: As this item is classified as "hazardous" by REACH / GHS, international shipment is subject to special regulations of the carrier.

Description of the article: Tifoo Gold tank plating solution "Chamaeleon" – the product features at a glance: 1 g of gold / litre for 24 carats gilding ideal for tank plating (not for pen plating); applicable with stainless steel anode works on a lot of metals cyanide-free and easy to use This gold electrolyte from Tifoo allows you to gild and to create gold layers on numerous objects by yourself. Please keep in mind that this electrolyte has especially been optimized for tank- and immersion plating. It has been given the name "Chamaeleon" because this electrolyte is perfectly compatible with our colour additives and allows you to achieve various gold colourations and shades. This cyanide free gold electrolyte deposits bright layers made of 24 carat real gold, normally without the need of polishing afterwards. Galvanic gilding is the ideal finish for every object that is meant to look especially noble. So you can gild e.g. watches, car components, used jewellery or electronic components without problems by yourself and save a lot of money. A very good combination for gilding of almost any metal is: copper (acidic), nickel (alternatively palladium or rhodium) and finally gold. Nickel-plating before gilding is recommended for copper, silver and non-ferrous heavy metal, for it causes a mixing of the shades with the gold after some days or weeks (diffusion), when not made. We offer the needed nickel also as an especially customer-friendly currentless variation. If you need more information or tips for gilding certain objects. we'll always be gladly at your disposal. Recommended voltage for using the Tifoo Gold electrolyte Chamaeleon: Tank plating: 3-4 volts Pen plating: NOT suitable (please use the electrolytes "FLASH" and "MIDAS" in our offer!)

Description of the article: Tifoo Copper conductive paint (400 ml) – the product features at a glance: 400 ml of conductive copper paint for electroplating for airbrush and brush makes non-conductive material conductive plating plants and natural objects easy and filigree application This galvanic conductive paint on copper base from Tifoo allows you to plate works of art and gifts made of glass, pottery, plastic and a lot of other material with a bright layer of metal in a short time. Just apply a thin layer of the conductive paint with a brush on the cleaned surface. The copper conductive paste dries until rub-proff in 10 to 15 minutes and therefore allows a quick treatment of the workpieces. The complete drying for perfect resistance on stressed surfaces takes about 12 to 36 hours at room temperature. The varnish can be diluted with butyl acetate. In the next step, the object is connected to a wire and copper-plated in the acidic copper electrolyte from Tifoo. A resistant copper layer will then be deposited. The last step can be used for nickel-plating, silver-plating or even gilding! Thanks to its low price and the high electrical and thermical conductiveness, the conductive copper varnish is the perfect alternative to the conductive silver varnish. Please keep in mind that the first step has to consist in copper-plating in the acidic copper electrolyte because the conductive varnish won't be activated before. After copper-plating, the metal layer will be wear-resistant. Suitable material: synthetic material, glass, pottery, plants, wood and a lot of other non-conductive material Drying time: 5-15 minutes (rub-proof), 1-3 days (complete for maximal requirements) 20 mL are enough for a surface of up to one square metre - very efficient!Shipping notes: As this item is classified as "hazardous" by REACH / GHS, international shipment is subject to special regulations of the carrier.
