AURUNA® 215 Pale Gold Iron Indium Electrolyte

AURUNA® 215 Pale Gold Iron Indium Electrolyte

Proven electrolyte with new color scheme

AURUNA® 215 Pale is a colour gold alloy electrolyte for decorative applications, preferably for parts coming into contact with the skin such as jewelry and watches. The essential advantage of the coatings is their freedom from nickel and cobalt, excluding skin allergies caused by these metals.

The process has already been proven for many years. By changing the parameters, we can now also achieve a pale yellow color (1N). The weakly acidic gold electrolyte is easy to operate and suitable for rack and barrel.
