The Legor Ruthenium Plating Solution, Extra Black provides a deeper and more intense black finish compared to standard ruthenium plating solutions. Ideal for applications where a rich, matte black finish is required, this solution ensures a durable, wear-resistant coating that is perfect for jewelry, watches, and other metal surfaces. Ruthenium, a member of the platinum group of metals, offers high resistance to tarnish and scratching, making it a premium choice for long-lasting black plating.

Pre-Treatment Recommendations:

For optimal adhesion and finish, thoroughly clean the substrate before plating. Ultrasonic cleaning or acid-based pre-treatments are ideal for removing oils, oxidation, or any residues on the surface.

Post-Treatment Recommendations:

Rinse with deionized water after plating to remove any excess solution. Dry immediately to avoid any water marks. The finish can be polished if a slightly glossy appearance is desired, or it can be left in its matte form for a bold, sleek look.

Water Quality:

Always use deionized or distilled water to ensure that the plating solution remains uncontaminated and free from ions that could affect plating performance.

Maintenance Guidelines:

Check the solution regularly for any signs of contamination or changes in color. Replenish ruthenium content as necessary to maintain plating performance, and ensure the bath is filtered periodically to avoid impurities.
