BRIGHT SILVER ELECTROLYTE FOR ELECTROFORMING
ARGUNA® 621 EF is a silver electrolyte, especially to produce noble hollow jewellery. A layer with high thickness can be deposited on mandrels made conductive. The electrolyte works with wax and metal cores. It can be used within a wide current density range and is suitable for relatively high temperature ranges (40 degrees Celsius). Its good throwing power results in a uniform layer thickness distribution. The surfaces are bright and brilliant white, without blue cast and have a fineness of 99.9 percent silver.
Advantages
• Bright silver electrolyte for producing hollow jewellery on wax and metal cores
• Suitable for relatively high temperature ranges (40 degrees Celsius)
• Surfaces are brilliant white
• Wide current density range
• Very good throwing power, therefore, uniform thickness distribution
Applications
• Electroforming
• Hollow jewellery
