GOLD PLATING CHEMICALS FOR
TANK SYSTEMS
Tank Plating uses similar
chemicals with the basic variation being in the GOLD PLATING SOLUTION itself.
The CHROME STRIPPER is quite
similar to the chrome stripper used in the MOBILE GOLD PLATING process. The same is true
for the NICKEL ACTIVATOR.
In TANK PLATING, it is common
to purchase most of the chemicals in a POWDERED FORM to save shipping expense, and, where
appropriate HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Shipping Fees.
The Gold Plating Solution is
different.
In a MOBILE OPERATION, you
want the Gold Solution to be the consistence of a "GEL THAT CAN FLOW" so it will
stay on the side of the vehicle as you do the gold depositing/bonding step.
In a TANK OPERATION, you lower
the piece or pieces into all of the different liquids, as well as the liquid gold plating
solution.
In a TANK SYSTEM, your
chemicals are in large tanks. Typically, wheels go into 33 gallon rectangular top tanks.
You could use a smaller tank
to do smaller items. Or, you could use larger tanks.
Typically, the item or items
to be gold plated are mounted on a special rack that holds the item while it is in the
solution. The rack is a part of the electrical circuitry.
The point to make here is
simple. Tanks CONTAIN the solution and can pick up assorted foreign materials which can
contaminate and or reduce the effectiveness of the chemicals in your tanks.
And, in the instance of the
GOLD PLATING TANK, you will literally take gold out of the tank when you gold plate a
part.
What this points out is
simple. Before we could seriously provide you with information, we would need to know more
about your operation. The simple addition of move chemicals to the chrome stripper or
nickel activator tanks, or more gold to your gold tank, may not be the resolution for you.
Although it is not all that
complicated, it is important to get it right. Getting it right means you will get better
plating results.
On WIRE WHEELS, it is easy to
get FULL OVERAGE over the entire wheel surface, including in-between the spokes, this is
simply not possible to do in the BRUSH PLATING system.
