plating plants and natural objects
easy and filigree application
This galvanic conductive paint on copper base from Tifoo allows you to plate works of art and gifts made of glass, pottery, plastic and a lot of other material with a bright layer of metal in a short time.
Just apply a thin layer of the conductive paint with a brush on the cleaned surface. The copper conductive paste dries until rub-proff in 10 to 15 minutes and therefore allows a quick treatment of the workpieces. The complete drying for perfect resistance on stressed surfaces takes about 12 to 36 hours at room temperature. The varnish can be diluted with butyl acetate. In the next step, the object is connected to a wire and copper-plated in the acidic copper electrolyte from Tifoo. A resistant copper layer will then be deposited. The last step can be used for nickel-plating, silver-plating or even gilding!
Thanks to its low price and the high electrical and thermical conductiveness, the conductive copper varnish is the perfect alternative to the conductive silver varnish. Please keep in mind that the first step has to consist in copper-plating in the acidic copper electrolyte because the conductive varnish won't be activated before. After copper-plating, the metal layer will be wear-resistant.
Suitable material: synthetic material, glass, pottery, plants, wood and a lot of other non-conductive material
Drying time: 5-15 minutes (rub-proof), 1-3 days (complete for maximal requirements)
20 mL are enough for a surface of up to one square metre - very efficient!Shipping notes:

Description of the article: Tifoo Gold tank plating solution "Chamaeleon" – the product features at a glance: 1 g of gold / litre for 24 carats gilding ideal for tank plating (not for pen plating); applicable with stainless steel anode works on a lot of metals cyanide-free and easy to use This gold electrolyte from Tifoo allows you to gild and to create gold layers on numerous objects by yourself. Please keep in mind that this electrolyte has especially been optimized for tank- and immersion plating. It has been given the name "Chamaeleon" because this electrolyte is perfectly compatible with our colour additives and allows you to achieve various gold colourations and shades. This cyanide free gold electrolyte deposits bright layers made of 24 carat real gold, normally without the need of polishing afterwards. Galvanic gilding is the ideal finish for every object that is meant to look especially noble. So you can gild e.g. watches, car components, used jewellery or electronic components without problems by yourself and save a lot of money. A very good combination for gilding of almost any metal is: copper (acidic), nickel (alternatively palladium or rhodium) and finally gold. Nickel-plating before gilding is recommended for copper, silver and non-ferrous heavy metal, for it causes a mixing of the shades with the gold after some days or weeks (diffusion), when not made. We offer the needed nickel also as an especially customer-friendly currentless variation. If you need more information or tips for gilding certain objects. we'll always be gladly at your disposal. Recommended voltage for using the Tifoo Gold electrolyte Chamaeleon: Tank plating: 3-4 volts Pen plating: NOT suitable (please use the electrolytes "FLASH" and "MIDAS" in our offer!)

Tifoo Yellow chromate conversion coating (1000 ml) – the product features at a glance:
yellow to golden finish for zinc and zinc-plated objects
ideal as finish for the Tifoo zinc plating solution
simple immersion bath, no power supply or accessories available
1000 ml content, completely free from highly toxic chromium(VI)
also dyes blue passivated zinc parts yellow, e.g. screws and bolts from the DIY superstore
The long-standing common chromium(VI) yellow chromate conversion coating is not allowed in Germany any more, not even for commercial users. This is why TIFOO has developped an alternative based on the much less problematic chromium(III). Yellow chromate passivated parts are aesthetic, non-corrosive and essential for all those who work with, for example, vintage cars. The Tifoo yellow passivation creates a shade that is very similar to a chrome(VI) chromate conversion coating. This shade resembles brass - like the old chromate conversion. Also the iridescence effect of the yellow layer is present.
The chromate conversion of zinc and zinc workpieces is done simply by dipping the object into the yellow chromate conversion.
Without further tools, you will create a yellow passivation layer within a few minutes. During the passivation, some of the zinc will be removed, or better said, dissolved, so please guarantee that the zinc layer is thick enough (>= 2 µm). This is especially valid if you zinc-plated your workpieces yourself with our TIFOO zinc plating solution. You can cancel this process by taking the workpiece out of the bath and rinsing with distilled water. Should the effect be too weak, just put the workpiece again into the bath until the desired shade is achieved. You can obtain shades from weak bright yellow until golden yellow.
Scope of delivery:
1000 ml yellow chromate conversion coating (ready to use)

Description of the article: Tifoo Palladium plating solution – the product features at a glance: 1 g of palladium / litre Ideal for tank or pen plating Serves as a barrier layer before gilding to avoid alloyings Easy in use and free from cyanide Tifoo Palladium electrolyte - the non-allergenic alternative to nickel electrolyte. Until today, palladium-plating is a quite rarely used electroplating method. In its function as substitution for galvanic nickel-plating, it can offer some advantages (despite the higher price). So, what are its advantages? Normally, a nickel electrolyte is used to create a barrier layer made of nickel between copper and gold to prevent the two metals from mixing together. The advantages are the following: Palladium is more noble than nickel, that means that there is no corrosion on the surface and the palladium doesn't need to be gilded nor activated like nickel. The deposition speed and the effectiveness are excellent, i.e. there is no unwanted gas formation. This electrolyte deposits silver white, very bright palladium and can be used as a bright "finish". When gilding on it with Tifoo Gold electrolyte and pen plating, you will achieve a perfect result. Unlike the nickel electrolyte, palladium isn't cancerogenic and because of that authorised for private costumers! A very good combination for gilding almost any metal is: copper (acidic), palladium and finally gold.Shipping notes: As this item is classified as "hazardous" by REACH / GHS, international shipment is subject to special regulations of the carrier.
