$40.00

Surface Activator is used to activate the surface of various metals for plating. This step typically follows electro-cleaning.

Surface Activator is most commonly used as an activator for brass, bronze, silver, copper, nickel, rhodium, and other similar metals.

It will not activate steel, stainless steel, or high chromium content items - these metals require Wood's Nickel Strike or TriVal 24K Acid Gold Strike.

*International customers ordering a gallon, your order will be shipped in (4)1 liter bottles.

I received my item quickly and in good condition. As I am learning and just setting up my station, I called with a couple questions and their technical support was very helpful.

Surface activator

I am new to doing my own plating but have known the process for a long time. I was having some issues with my bright nickel adhering. I was using a pickling solution but was still having trouble. I switched out the pickling for this surface activator and all of my adhesion issues disappeared.
