The metal care product is used for cleaning and polishing surfaces.    With the metal care almost all types of surfaces (except textiles) can be cleaned, treated and sealed with little effort and completely without water! Metal Care from Betzmann Galvanik does not contain acids or alkalis. It is ph-neutral and slowly biodegradable. It is even machine applicable by means of an eccentric polishing machine.      Some examples of use:  Car, boat, motorcycle, bicycle, kitchen, bathroom, ceramics, glass, leather, imitation leather, amarture board, plastic, camper, stainless steel, chrome, glass panes, TV, monitors, glasses, helmets, tiles, mirrors, shoe sole sides,  cell phone displays, store counters, high-gloss fronts, foiling (matt/glossy), advertising and company signs, solar systems, solariums, whirlpools, pools, rims, ovens, acrylic glass, ceramic hobs, CNC machines, chrome fixtures in the bathroom and much more.      Application:  Shake bottle briefly before use. Apply the metal care to the object to be treated and distribute/massage.  Then polish or wipe the lotion away with a clean microfiber cloth.  It can be applied by hand or by machine. For machine application, the care product can be used like a normal polish. For this purpose, apply the agent to the machine polishing attachment and process with gentle pressure. Then polish or wipe off the lotion with a clean microfiber cloth. or wipe clean. Due to its additional cleaning function, the metal care replaces a large number of polishes for automotive reconditioners. Smooth surfaces appear  after the application in their original shine and are sealed (Lotus effect). Dull lacquers are beautifully matt again after application and dirt and grease residues are grease residues are removed. Glass panes become streak-free clean after application and less susceptible to soiling (sealed).  With each new or further application, the protective film/sealing is further built up and the pores in the surface are closed. The product does not contain chalk or wax ingredients like common polishes. Thus also plastics can be polished effortlessly and appear again in the old shine (no white stripes or residues on plastic). The sealing usually lasts between 2-8 weeks (depending on the area of application and stress on the polished object). object).    Notice:  The product should not necessarily be used in the blazing sun, otherwise it may happen that you have to work harder to polish up the product One should also not use the metal care on smooth floors, as this surface then becomes even smoother and possible slipping danger exists.

Gelling Agent / Thickener – Additive for Drip-Free Electroplating Solutions and Precise CoatingsGelling Agent for Electrolytes – Greater Control for Pen Plating, Tampon Plating and Tank PlatingThe Gelling Agent / Thickener from Betzmann Galvanik is a specially developed additive for increasing the viscosity of electroplating electrolytes. By adding the thickener, low-viscosity electrolytes are transformed into a gel-like, low-drip consistency. This allows the electrolyte to remain on the workpiece surface for longer, making it easier to achieve precise and controlled plating results.It is particularly suitable for pen plating, tampon plating, and plating on vertical, inclined or complex-shaped surfaces, where it prevents the electrolyte from running off and significantly reduces solution loss. It is also ideal for selective plating, repair work and localized metal deposition.Your Advantages at a GlanceIncreases the viscosity of electroplating electrolytesConverts liquid electrolytes into a gel-like consistencyPrevents dripping and running on vertical surfacesReduces electrolyte consumptionEnables more precise pen plating and tampon platingImproves coating uniformityIdeal for repair plating and selective platingEasy to mix and useCompatible with many electroplating electrolytesWhy Use a Gelling Agent?Most electroplating electrolytes have a relatively low viscosity. On vertical or inclined workpieces, the electrolyte quickly runs off, which can result in:Uneven coating thicknessElectrolyte lossDrip marksPoor coating definitionIncreased electrolyte consumptionThe gelling agent keeps the electrolyte exactly where it is needed, making the plating process easier while improving coating quality and efficiency.Typical ApplicationsThe gelling agent is ideal for:Pen platingTampon platingSelective electroplatingLocal gold platingRepair gold platingVertical surface platingComplex workpiece geometriesJewellery manufacturingRestoration workModel makingPrecision engineeringApplicationSlowly add the gelling agent to the electrolyte while stirring until the desired consistency is achieved.Recommended mixing ratio:Approximately 1 part gelling agent to 10 parts electrolyteThe exact ratio may be adjusted depending on the electrolyte and the desired gel consistency.After mixing, a homogeneous gel structure should be obtained before use.Suitable ElectrolytesThe gelling agent can be used with many electroplating electrolytes, including:Gold electrolytesSilver electrolytesNickel electrolytesCopper electrolytesRhodium electrolytesMany other compatible electroplating solutionsFor new electrolyte systems, we recommend testing compatibility before large-scale use.Technical InformationProduct Type:Gelling Agent / ThickenerApplication:Increasing the viscosity of electroplating electrolytesRecommended Mixing Ratio:Approx. 1 : 10 (Gelling Agent : Electrolyte)Consistency:Adjustable from slightly thickened to highly gel-likeApplication Temperature:Room temperatureStorage:Store tightly closed in a cool and dry place.Practical Tips✔ Add the gelling agent slowly while stirring.✔ Adjust the mixing ratio gradually until the desired consistency is reached.✔ Allow the mixture to stand briefly before use so trapped air bubbles can escape.✔ Perfect for vertical surfaces and localized plating.✔ Especially recommended for gold, silver and rhodium plating applications.Safety InformationWear suitable protective gloves and safety glasses.Avoid contact with skin and eyes.Follow the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).Use only in well-ventilated areas.Keep out of reach of children.Quality from Betzmann GalvanikThe Gelling Agent / Thickener is the ideal additive for professional electroplating applications.
