Gold Plating Services 32 oz/1 Liter - Electro - Cleaner Solution - Bath or Brush Electroplating Supplies

The Electro-Cleaner solution is an alkaline cleaning solution that is used for dip-cleaning metal parts before plating. It is a necessary step to ensure that impurities, fingerprints, or other contamination do not affect the quality of the plating process. The solution is quite caustic, so appropriate protective gear must be worn, starting with eye protection. It is crucial to ensure that such compounds cannot be accessed by children. The hard buildup that appears after a while in the beaker is the residue of the material that was cleaned off the part and the breakdown of the Electro-Cleaner solution into other Constituents. The solution's life can be extended by replacing it with distilled water when it evaporates, testing it on a small area if unsure if it's safe to use on an item, and making sure that the parts are as clean as possible before electro cleaning. The Electro-Cleaner solution will not harm any natural gemstone, but it may have an effect on some painted areas or plastic surfaces. It will also affect polished aluminum. The Wood's Nickel Strike is different from the Electro-Cleaner solution as it is an activator for stainless steel, preparing the surface for the gold or other plate to adhere correctly.
