Before rhodium plating: Palladium as an optimal pre-coating


When preparing for rhodium plating, palladium plating is often a recommended option for cost or technical reasons. Palladium serves as an ideal pre-coating to optimize the quality and durability of rhodium plating.

Discover the benefits of palladium plating as a pre-coating before rhodium plating and optimize your electroplating processes in a cost-efficient and effective way.

Palladium Bath JE42 D - 2 g/L Pd
Content: 1 liter
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 - 9Density: 1,08 – 1,09 g/cm³Operating conditions:Voltage: 1,5-2,5 VoltBath temperature: 25-30°CExposition time: 5-8 min.Anodes: Mixed-metal-oxideAnode/Cathode surface: 1 : 1Agitation: requiredCurrent density: 0,5 A/dm² (0,4 – 0,6)Bath filtration: from 10 litresDeposition rate: 0,5 A/dm² approx. 15 – 20 mg/AminDeposition data:Hardness: 230 – 250 HVLayer thickness: max. 0,5 µmLayer density: approx. 11,8 g/cm3
