Platinum Electrode Mesh

Product Information "Platinum Electrode Mesh for Bath Electroplating" by Betzmann-Galvanik:

This platinized titanium anode Mesh with handle in the size 100x50 mm was coated with 5µm platinum.

This platinized titanium anode is perfectly suitable for rhodium, platinum and gold plating baths, furthermore for rose gold, platinum, black nickel, black chrome, black rhodium and many more.

Properties "Platinum Electrode Mesh

Platinum electrode (platinized titanium with a platinum layer of 5 µm platinum)

100 mm x 50 mm

Standard electrode for experiments in electrochemistry (electroplating, electrolysis, ion migration, determination of electrochemical potentials etc.)

Spare platinum electrode for Hofmann decomposition apparatus, electrolyzer

Platinum-coated titanium anodes are among the classic anode materials for electroplating because they combine the excellent electrochemical properties of platinum with the good corrosion properties of titanium. They are characterized by a long service life at high current density and are versatile in use. They are equally suitable for platinum and ruthenium baths, for hard chrome plating, as bright rhodium baths and for cathodic corrosion protection. The standard platinum layer thickness is 5 μm.

In order to achieve the best results when plating with gold (adhesive gold bath, bright gold plating bath) or silver, they are indispensable.

This platinum electrode will more than meet your requirements, it hardly wears out and leaves no black spots or stains when plating. For top quality gold plating, I recommend using this electrode.

Other possible applications: Water electrolysis/separation of hydrogen and oxygen, water disinfection, production of chlorates (chlorate synthesis) and perchlorates.
