Legor Palladium 4 Grams, Flash Plating Solution, 1 Litre, PD3-ECO

The Legor Palladium 4g Flash Plating Solution is a ready-to-use, high-performance palladium bath, ideal for flash plating. This solution is particularly suited for pre-rhodium treatment on low-karat gold and silver, providing a smooth, uniform palladium coating. It offers a tough, durable layer that serves as a barrier to prevent the diffusion of gold deposits on copper and copper alloys. The solution is ideal for creating a consistent finish that also helps to prevent skin reactions associated with nickel in white gold alloys.

Product Details:

• Palladium content: 4.0g per litre
• Ready-to-use form for bath plating
• Requires a Platinum Clad Anode (sold separately) with moderate agitation

Operating Parameters:

• Voltage: 3.5V - 5.0V (Optimal: 4.5V)

• Anode: Platinum-clad Titanium or Mixed Oxide Anode
• Filtration: Magnetic driven filter pumps (for larger bath volumes)

Pre-Treatment Recommendations:

• Suitable for direct application on Palladium, Nickel, and precious metal substrates
• For Silver or Copper alloys, apply an intermediate deposit to prevent migration

Post-Treatment Recommendations:

• To stabilise the deposited palladium layer, immerse the plated pieces in hot water (60-70°C) for 30-60 seconds

Water Quality:

• Use demineralised water with conductivity below 3 µS/cm to prevent contamination during bath preparation and replenishment

Maintenance Guidelines:

• Maintain the solution’s optimal operating conditions by adding palladium salts when required

Safety Information:

• This solution is non-toxic and safe to handle, but it is important to wear gloves and goggles to avoid any potential irritation. Follow standard safety protocols for handling plating chemicals.
