G.S.P Black Ruthenium Plating Solution Deep Black 1 Litre
Our Black Ruthenium Solution is specifically engineered to deliver a rich black tone with a sleek, high-gloss appearance. This advanced formulation ensures that the deposited finish is significantly deeper and more intense than the dark grey finish typically produced by the majority of Black Ruthenium solutions on the market.
This durable finish is ideal for a range of applications. It has seen a recent boost in popularity as a striking array of Black Ruthenium plated coins with 24k gold highlights, are proving to be sought-after amongst coin collectors. Our Black Ruthenium also brings a stylish twist when plated onto jewellery such as rings and pendants, adds a sophisticated aesthetic as a decorative finish on metal products, and as a bonus, also offers corrosion resistance. This added protection further enhances the suitability of the finish for both decorative and functional purposes.
The 1 litre solution for tank plating contains 5g ruthenium and is provided to you in two parts: Part 1 - Ruthenium Solution and Part 2 - Blackening Agent, with full instruction on how to use. These work together to produce the beautifully dark tone shown in the accompanying photograph.
This product does not contain arsenic in any form.
For optimum performance, use with our 316 Stainless Steel Flat Tank Plating Anodes.
