Description

The Heimerle + Meule Pre-gold plating bath VG 204 is used for direct coating of stainless steel as well as for pre-gold plating prior to cyanide gold plating baths or other electrolytes that require a pre-gold layer as an adhesive base.

Pre-Gold Plating Bath 204 VG has an excellent stability and a long service life. The deposited gold coatings are ductile, have low porosity and can also be used for a decorative finish.

Developed by highly qualified specialists, this solution works perfectly at room temperature (20-30°C). It is very easy to handle, therefore achieving a fast and efficient processing result every time.

The solution contains 2g of gold per 1L and will deposit a thin layer of approximately 0.5 micron in rich yellow gold colour.

This time saving solution has a high colour stability, even with low gold content and has optimal throwing power. In addition, the layers are deposited in a shine-maintaining manner, minimising clouding.
