Our Nickel Brush Plating Solution is ideal for plating a barrier layer between layers of gold plate and copper and copper containing alloys such as brass. If it is to be used as a barrier layer, please plate to at least 2 microns.  An alternative barrier layer could be our white bronze or our Palladium Brush or Tank Solution.

Our brush plating equipment is powered by our EasyPlater. It’s very straightforward to use, compact and lightweight.
