Our range of platinum rod electrodes are especially useful for copper electroforming. Used with our copper electroforming solution, they produces consistently shiny and smooth layers of pure copper. No roughness after multiple uses and it eliminates time consuming polishing back. One of the main sources of particulate contamination, which cause both dullness and roughness, is particulate contamination from using copper electrodes. Using a platinum rod electrode eliminates this source of contamination. Please note that if using this electrode, both the copper metal and brightener will need to be made as per the Copper Electroforming Calculator. Further information on the dimensions and platinised length of the electrodes can be found by clicking on the Tech Specs tab below. Please note that platinum rod electrodes can be used for other plating solutions including Gold and Palladium Tank plating Solution. Please note that Spa Plating electrodes are designed to work with our range of electroplating solutions only and are not compatible with electrolytes containing chloride or fluoride particularly at low pH and/or at high temperature.
