Before rhodium plating: Palladium as an optimal pre-coating

The palladium bath JE42 D is a weakly alkaline electrolyte which is suitable for the deposition of bright, decorative, light palladium layers up to 0,5 µm thickness. The palladium electrolyte can be used as a final layer for decorative applications.Operating data:  Palladium content: 2,0 g/L PdpH-value: 8,5 (8,0 - 9,0)Density: 1,075 g/ml (1,070 - 1,080)Operating conditions:Voltage: 1,8 - 2,5 VoltBath temperature: 25 - 30 °CExposition time: 3 - 8 min.Anodes: Mixed-metal-oxideAnode/Cathode surface: 1:1Agitation: requiredCurrent density: approx. 0,5 A/dm2 Deposition rate: 15,6 mg/AminDeposition speed: approx. 0,07 depending on pH and current density Bath filtration: from 10 litresDeposition data:Hardness: 230 - 250 HVLayer thickness: max. 0,5 µmFineness of the palladium layer: 99,9 % palladium   Form of delivery: Ready for use 2 g/L Pd  

The palladium bath JE42 V is a weakly alkaline electrolyte which is suitable for the deposition of bright, decorative, light palladium layers up to 0,5 µm thickness. The Palladium Bath JE42 V can be used as a pre-palladium and as a diffusion barrier.Operating data:Palladium content: 2,0 g/L PdpH-value: 7,0 (6,8 - 7,2) Density: 1,080 g/ml (1,075 - 1,085)Operating conditions:Voltage: 1,8 - 2,5 VoltBath temperature: 25 - 30 °CExposition time: 3 - 8 min.Anodes: Mixed-metal-oxideAnode/Cathode surface: 1:1Agitation: requiredCurrent density: approx. 0,5 A/dm2Deposition rate: 15,6 mg/AminDeposition speed: approx. 0,07 depending on pH and current densityBath filtration: from 10 litres Deposition data:Hardness: 230 - 250 HVLayer thickness: max. 0,5 µmFineness of the palladium layer: 99,9 % palladium   Form of delivery:Ready for use 2 g/L Pd
