High Speed Gold Tank Plating Solution can plate at rates above 0.3 micron-per-minute, twice the rate of our standard gold tank plating solution.
This solution contains 4 grams of gold for every litre of solution. It plates a shade of gold similar to that of our Gold Tank Plating Solution.
This tank plating solution is ready to use straight out of the bottle – no pre-mixing required.

Our High Speed Gold Tank Plating Solution, when used with our on-line High Speed Gold Tank Plating Calculator, means you’re now in complete control of the gold plating process.
Plating to vermeil standard requires a layer of gold of at least 2.5 microns on sterling silver and this solution will help you plate to these kinds of specific and substantial thicknesses of gold.
You’ll not only be confident that the layer of gold you’ve plated is of a uniform thickness, you’ll also know how much gold is left in your remaining plating solution and therefore how long it will take to plate your next item to the same or a different specification.
Our Gold Tank Plating Kit offers you the flexibility of plating larger objects in our 500ml, 1 and 2 litre capacity Plating Beakers.
1. In the first box, enter the thickness that you want to plate to in microns (thousandths of a millimetre).

3. In the third box, enter the gold concentration (for a new solution that’s: 4 grams per litre).
4. In the fourth box, enter the volume of solution you’re using.
5. Click the ‘Calculate’ button.
6. Read off the amp setting for your rectifier and the plating time.
7. The concentration of gold remaining and the volume of replenisher to add is shown in the next two boxes.
