Copper (alkaline) + Nickel Set – Complete solution for coating iron, zinc & zamak
The Bath Plating Copper (Alkaline) + Nickel Set from Dr. Galva is the ideal combination for reliably plating and nickel-coating delicate metals such as zinc or zamak. The alkaline copper electrolyte ensures a strong adhesion base layer, while the nickel electrolyte provides a robust, decorative, and corrosion-resistant final coating.
Optimal Adhesion & Long-Lasting Protection
✔ Specially designed for zinc, zamak & other base metals
✔ Two-layer process: Alkaline copper as a base – nickel for protection, hardness, and shine
✔ High corrosion resistance – ideal for mechanically stressed or decorative parts
✔ Particularly suitable when the surface is already smooth (for uneven surfaces, an additional bright copper layer before nickel plating is recommended)
Versatile & Easy to Use
✔ Easy handling – also suitable for beginners
✔ Ideal for repairs, restorations & decorative projects
✔ Professional results for hobby and workshop
With the Bath Plating Copper-Nickel Set, you get everything you need for high-quality, long-lasting surface finishing – for perfect adhesion, optimal protection, and a flawless finish.
