Demand the best. Our cobalt-hardened, acid gold electroplating solution is meticulously engineered to yield a fine-grained deposit with relatively low stress. It seamlessly bridges the gap between high-tech manufacturing and premium craftsmanship, delivering professional-grade results for every application.
Our batch-tested solutions are optimized for efficiency, reliability, and minimal waste.
Best of all, our pricing is transparent and fair: the cost of each solution is based strictly on the actual physical weight of the fine gold content contained within it, not the liquid volume of the bottle.

💡 Important Plating Notes
-
Anode Requirement: Requires the use of a high-quality Type 316 stainless steel or graphite anode to ensure optimal electrodeposition and prevent bath contamination.
-
Finish Texture: The final gold deposit will precisely mirror the surface it is plated onto. A polished surface will yield a brilliant, high-luster gold finish, while a matte surface will remain matte. All surface preparation, polishing, and refinishing should be completed entirely prior to plating.
🛠️ Choosing Your Plating Method
Different electroplating techniques require distinct chemical architectures. While the gold concentration varies across our product line to maximize efficiency for each method, it does not alter the rich color or final quality of the deposit.
🛁 Bath Gold (Immersion Plating)
Available in 24K, 18K, or 14K
-
Best For: Plating entire items or bulk parts simultaneously with a perfectly uniform, unbroken layer of gold.
-
The Formulation: Engineered with a lower gold concentration per fluid ounce to maximize affordability and cost-efficiency when filling larger tank setups or laboratory beakers. Standard Concentration: 1 gram of fine gold per 500 ml of solution.
🖌️ Brush Gold
Available in 24K (Standard Concentration: 1 gram of fine gold per 125 ml of solution)
-
Best For: Localized electroplating on specific, targeted areas without the need to submerge the entire component. Perfect for oversized items or multi-toned artistic details.
🖋️ Pen Gold
Available in 24K (Standard Concentration: 1 gram of fine gold per 30ml of solution)
-
Best For: Ultra-fine, detailed accents and intricate precision work. Paired with a fine-point tip, this high-concentration formula allows you to apply rich gold to areas as small as 1mm with surgical control.
