| Features | Benefits |
| Designed to be used with our electrode ring fitted with silver electrodes. | Plates fast – up to 0.6 microns per minute. This means you can build substantial thicknesses quickly. |
| No yellowing of deposit after rinsing. | Greatly reduces the need for post plating polishing – particularly important if you’re plating very delicate or complexly shaped items. |
| The silver from the silver electrodes replenishes the silver plated out from the solution. | Makes the Silver Tank Plating Solution – HS long life, which means you buy less solution in the long run. |
To get the best out of the Silver Tank Plating Solution – HS you need to heat it to 50 degrees centigrade with moderate agitation. Immersing the plated item in water at 60-70 degrees centigrade for 1-2 mins immediately after plating greatly helps the solution’s anti-tarnish properties.
