Conductive copper lacquer

Conductive copper lacquer from Betzmann Galvanik Real Gold 

With our conductive copper lacquer - Real Gold - you can even in a very short time cover gifts made of glass, ceramics, plastic and other objects and materials with a shiny layer of metal. Perfect as an exclusive gift! Due to its unique gloss effect, the conductive copper lacquer is also very well suited as a decorative lacquer. 

Simply apply the conductive copper lacquer thinly with a brush to the cleaned surface. The Conductive Copper Varnish dries wipe-proof within 10 to 15 minutes and thus enables a quick treatment of the surface. Complete drying for optimum adhesion on stressed surfaces takes approx. 1 - 3 days at room temperature. The lacquer can be thinned with butyl acetate. 

The next step is to connect the object with a wire or our crocodile clip made of copper or copper platelets and copperplate it with acid copper. A robust layer of copper is then deposited. In the last step you can still nickel, silver and gold plating the copper! 

Due to its lower price and high electrical and thermal conductivity, copper conductive lacquer is the perfect alternative to silver conductive lacquer. Please note that in the first step, copper plating must be carried out in the acidic copper electrolyte in any case, as the conductive lacquer is only then activated. After copper plating, the metal layer is abrasion-resistant. 

Suitable materials: plastic, glass, ceramics, and many other materials 

Drying time: 5 - 15 minutes (smudge-proof) / 1 - 3 days (complete for maximum demands)

50 ml is sufficient for an area of up to 1 square meter - so it is very productive!
