Legor Palladium Iron Solution, 1 Litre, PD4-FE

The Legor Palladium Iron Solution is a ready-to-use bath designed for creating durable and hard-wearing palladium deposits. This solution contains iron to enhance the hardness of the plating, making it ideal for applications requiring a robust, wear-resistant finish. Suitable for a variety of substrates, including jewellery and technical components, it provides a bright, corrosion-resistant coating with a neutral colour that complements other precious metal finishes.

Product Details:

• Palladium content: High-quality palladium with iron additive
• Ready-to-use form for bath plating
• Requires a Platinum-Clad Anode (sold separately) with consistent agitation
• Cyanide-free and environmentally friendly formulation

Operating Parameters:

• Voltage: 2.0V - 4.0V (Optimal: 3.0V)
• Current Density (A/dm²): 0.5 - 3.0 (Optimal: 2.0)
• Working Temperature: 20°C - 30°C (Optimal: 25°C)
• Deposition Rate at 1 A/dm²: 0.1 µm/min

Equipment Requirements:

• Materials: Pyrex glass, PVC, polypropylene
• Power Supply: DC current rectifier with low residual AC (<5%)
• Anode: Platinum-clad Titanium or Mixed Oxide Anode
• Filtration: Magnetic driven filter pumps with a 5-15 µm cartridge

Pre-Treatment Recommendations:

• Suitable for direct application on Palladium, Nickel, and precious metal substrates
• For Copper or Copper alloys, an intermediate layer is recommended to ensure adhesion and prevent migration

Post-Treatment Recommendations:

• Rinse plated items in demineralised water to ensure proper stabilisation of the finish
• Dry gently to avoid scratches or abrasion on the fresh plating

Water Quality:

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

Maintenance Guidelines:

• Monitor and maintain iron and palladium concentrations to preserve optimal plating quality
• Top-up with additional palladium salts when needed to maintain bath integrity

Safety Information:

• This solution is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, but standard safety procedures should be followed. Use gloves and safety glasses to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Ensure good ventilation during use.
