Rhodium bath

The ready-to-use rhodium bath is used for decorative surface coating of e.g. jewellery, watches and spectacle frames. It creates a brilliant deep black, extremely abrasion-resistant deposit.

The rhodium bath is used in a traditional type of electroplating unit. In a new bath, the free acid content is 22 g/l. It rises in the course of use and repeated regeneration. This has the effect of reducing the speed of deposition, but in turn it can be compensated by increasing the time of exposure.

Technical Details:
