The Short Platinum Electrode fits both our rectifier-driven and battery powered plating pens. When used with our Short Swab it allows you to quickly pen plate larger surface areas on items such as rings, pendants and small pieces of silver ware.
Ideal for plating very large surfaces such as large nameplates and tabletops.
Ideal for plating larger areas such as medium sized name plates.
Our Curved Platinum Electrode is custom designed to plate on curved surfaces.
Speeds up the plating of large surface areas.
This platinised titanium electrode is plated to a specifiaction of 100g/m2 – (around 5 microns) ensuring long-life.
Please read under the Tech Specs tab ‘caring for your electrode’.
Our range of platinum rod electrodes are especially useful for copper electroforming. Used with our copper electroforming solution, they produces consistently shiny and smooth layers of pure copper. No roughness after multiple uses and it eliminates time consuming polishing back.
One of the main sources of particulate contamination, which cause both dullness and roughness, is particulate contamination from using copper electrodes.
Using a platinum rod electrode eliminates this source of contamination.
Please note that if using this electrode, both the copper metal and brightener will need to be made as per the Copper Electroforming Calculator.
Further information on the dimensions and platinised length of the electrodes can be found by clicking on the Tech Specs tab below.
Please note that platinum rod electrodes can be used for other plating solutions including Gold and Palladium Tank plating Solution.
Spa Plating’s Platinum Electrode is the best for top quality gold, palladium and rhodium brush plating . Essential for impurity-free plating
This tank plating kit is ideal for plating platinum directly onto a number of metals for example silver, gold and grit-blasted titanium.
You could consider it as an alternative for rhodium when plating white gold. However it is slightly less silvery than rhodium.
Like rhodium, you can use it to create a tarnish-free coating for items made out of silver.
One of its other main uses is for producing platinised titanium anodes with the bench-top method of plating.
Scaling up or down; you can scale the volume of this Platinum Tank Plating Kit – 1 Litre up or down by swapping in different volumes of our plating beakers.
You can also switch easily between our different plating solutions as the Spa Plating tank plating process is very similar across all of our tank plating solutions.
If you want to scale down the volume of the 1 litre kit to a 500ml kit for example, these are the core items you will need to change;
Platinum Tank Plating Kit – 500ml
Cleaner – 500ml
Stirring Bar – Medium
Plating Beaker – 500ml
Beaker Ring – 500ml
Stainless mesh electrode for cleaning only – 500ml
Beaker Lid – 500ml x 2
Rinse beakers x 2 – 250 ml
These same core products can be scaled down further to 250ml or up to 2 litres.
The rest of the items on the kit list can stay.
Platinum Brush Plating Solution contains 10 grams of platinum per litre and has been designed specifically for brush plating. It plates a hard-wearing, bright layer of platinum. Ideal for both decorative and functional purposes.
You will need to use our S-Type Swabs with this solution. These can be purchased by clicking on the link in the ‘Related Products’ section, below this panel.
Voltage: 4 – 5 volts
Electrode: Platinum or Carbon
