AURUNA® 500 LC Rose Gold Electrolyte

This combination does not exist.

Rose gold layers for fine jewelry

AURUNA® 500 LC is a neutral electrolyte for depositing red 18 carat gold-copper coatings. The electrolyte works with low gold content, has a stable pH-value and works without free cyanide.

The alloy is mainly suitable for decorative applications such as jewelry and accessories. The layers are very hard and abrasion-resistant. As low-carat gold-saving coatings, they additionally exhibit a very good resistance to tarnishing and corrosion.
