Plating Kits
Based upon the same principles and chemicals used in industrial electroplating systems, our tank plating kits are ideal for almost all objects and can give a wide range of finishes.
Our kits are capable of plating onto various metals including steel, iron, brass, copper and more. If you would like to plate onto aluminium and it’s alloys, check out the GP Allyseal Zincate for further information.

We have three basic kit types: 5L, 10L and Ultimate. Our 5L and 10L kit contain the chemicals, electrical connectors, safety equipment and guides to set up basic pre-plating, plating and post-plating tanks. Our Ultimate kits comes with extra accessories for larger volume systems. All kits have the option to add a digital power supply; the PS201ADJT.
ELECTROFORMING
Electroforming uses the same principles and chemicals as electroplating, however, it is usually done involving non-metal substrates; plastics, clays, silicones, organic materials. A metal, most commonly copper, is deposited onto a material immersed in an electrolyte through the use of a conductive paint and an electric current.
It is a simple and straight forward process with a few quirks to watch out for. The basic steps involved are: 1. Sealing, 2. Painting, 3. Electroforming, 4. Colouring (patina or other metals) and 5. Sealing.
