By adding various color additive solutions, the following layer colors can be achieved: green, yellow, rose, red.
METAKEM Gold Electrolytes – for Maximum Adhesion, Layer Stability, and Process Reliability
Gold electrolytes from METAKEM can be supplied with or without cyanide, based on ammonium gold sulfite, and cover almost the entire pH spectrum. Our high-purity gold baths enable precise, long-lasting coatings with optimal adhesion. Whether for technical applications (e.g., in electronics or medical technology) or decorative gold plating – our electrolytes are the ideal solution for electroplating in industry, electronics, and jewelry manufacturing.
Our Gold Electrolytes/Gold Baths are:
Gold-SF is a sulfite-based gold bath with a neutral pH value. It is highly pure, characterized by a very low chloride content, and therefore has high bath stability even when exposed to light. This bath is used in both decorative jewelry applications and technical areas (including dental galvanoforming).
