This stainless steel activator for brush plating will help you plate an adhesive layer of gold plate on most ferritic and martensitic groups of stainless steel.
We suggest using our Gold Strike Brush and Tank. for difficult-to-plate stainless steel alloys, in particular those belonging to the duplex and austenitic group.
Please note this plating solution contains nickel.
Here is an example a successful sellotape test. It shows how well this activator helps you to plate on a range of difficult to plate stainless steel alloys by making your plated layers adhere to the surface of your item.
1. We masked out a small area of the spoon handle with masking tape.
2. We treated the spoon handle with Stainless Steel Activator.
3. We stuck a strip of sellotape over the whole of the handle and then pulled it away.
4. The copper came off where the masking tape had been and the copper stuck where the handle had been exposed to Stainless Steel Activator.
Please see a video of this process by clicking the blue ‘Video’ tab above.
