Elex Lite is perfect for adding spectacular colors to your jewelry
The nano ceramic electroplating kit - Elex Lite is perfect for adding spectacular colors to your jewelry.
In addition to adding color, electroplating can also be used to seal and protect jewelry against oxidation, using Transparent Nano Ceramic Resin.
The kit contains a device used for the electroplating process, 2 cables with pliers to connect to the part and the resin jar, a cleaning dust and a container with a metal plate in which you can degrease the parts or mix colors.
Important to know!
- Before applying the resin through the electroplating process, it is important that the part is optimally finished and polished. The applied color does not hide the defects, on the contrary, they will be seen more clearly.
- The colors are not opaque. If we apply the pink color on copper, it will be slightly darker than the shade of pink applied on silver.
To apply the Elecolo resin the steps will be followed:
1. Use the powder in the sachet to degrease the part. Fill the container with water so that it does not cover the highest point of the metal plate inside. Then add a teaspoon of degreasing powder and mix well. Connect the red clamp to the metal in the water container and the black clamp to the wire support created to hold the part in the solution. Then switch the large knob to 12V mode and insert the part into the water in the container. Press the ON button and hold for 15 to 1 minute for deep cleaning. Rinse the piece in water without touching it with your hand.
Cleaning can also be done with alcohol or electrolytic water (as in the video)
2. Choose the desired color and connect the red cable to the plate inside the colored resin container and the black cable to the metal support that supports the cleaned part

3. Turn the large knob to 60V mode and insert the part into the resin. Press the ON button and keep it pressed for a few minutes. As a reference, hold 2-5 minutes for one ring.
4. After electroplating, rinse the part in a bowl of water without touching it

5. Prepare a wire support for the part (see video) so that it supports it without too much contact between the part and the wire. Transfer the already electroplated part to this support.
6. Place the piece on the support in an oven and heat at 150°C - 160°C for 15 to 30 minutes.

About electrophoresis dyeing technology
Electrical deposition of varnishes by electrophoresis - "electrocoating"whatever is mentioned in the specialized literature - it is, today, due to its profitability, as well as due to the qualities that the film presents, a technological process widely used in the automotive and goods industries consumer, shipbuilding and aerospace.
The technology is expanding today not only for usual coatings, but also for other special, heavy ones to be achieved by other means: depositing ceramic oxides on filaments, aluminum on steel, a zirconium hydrides on tantalum, glass on uranium. Obviously, electrophoresis cannot be used than in the case of metal parts, conductors of electricity. (source scribd.com)
