Platinised length: 70mm
Diameter: 6mm
Base material: type 2 titanium
Platinum content: 50 g/m2
Titanium base: 99.6% minimum
Operating current density: not more than 80 amps/dm2
pH range: 0.5 – 11
Conditions to avoid: Low pH electrolytes containing fluoride and chloride
| Features | Benefits |
| Made from platinum plated (platinised) titanium | Ensures top quality results for all precious metals including gold, rhodium, platinum and ruthenium Can be used with other plating solutions Will not darken the swab (as is the case with a carbon electrode). |
Platinum content: 50 g/m2
Titanium base: 99.6% minimum
Operating current density: not more than 80 amps/dm2
pH range: 0.5 – 11
Conditions to avoid: electrolytes containing fluoride, temperatures in excess of 60 centigrade
Note: It is very important to use the correct electrode. If a stainless steel electrode is used for gold plating, iron from the stainless steel will react with the gold chemical and dissolve into the gold plating solution. This will poison it, making the gold insoluble and not able to plate. This will greatly reduce the efficiency of the solution.
