ARGUNA® 621 EF Bright Silver Electrolyte for Electroforming
This combination does not exist.
For noble silver hollow jewellery
ARGUNA® 621 EF is a silver electrolyte, especially to produce noble hollow jewellery. A layer with high thickness can be deposited on mandrels made conductive.
The electrolyte works with wax and metal cores. It can be used within a wide current density range and is suitable for relatively high temperature ranges (40 degrees Celsius).
Its good throwing power results in a uniform layer thickness distribution. The surfaces are bright and brilliant white, without blue cast and have a fineness of 99.9 percent silver.
