Before looking at the types of passivation that we can apply in jewelry, we must understand what passivation or passivation is or what meaning it has. A passivation or passivation is the formation of a relatively inert film on the surface of a material (frequently a metal), which masks it against the action of external agents.
That said, there are different types of passivates that we can differentiate by the type or form of application they have on our pieces. These usually come prepared Industry Email List to carry out the work in 1L format. Among the most used are immersion passivation and electrolytic passivation.
As its name indicates, it is done by immersion, this means that we must immerse the piece completely for a period of time for it to be applied. This type of product adheres to the piece through a chemical reaction between the passivating liquid and the metal. In this type of process, it is necessary to give temperature in the passivation as well as agitation , this helps the dissolution and homogeneous mixture of the liquid itself, facilitating the chemical reaction to adhere to the piece.
Once the process is finished, it is advisable to apply temperature to the piece. Highlight the versatility of use, also applicable to products that have been treated with patinas to give the silver a darkened or aged appearance, since it does not alter the appearance or shine of the piece to be treated. See product features: Technoflux precious metal passivation bath.
On the other hand we have electrolytic passivation: This type of product is also made by immersion with the difference that in this case we will need to apply current with a bath rectifier. Unlike immersion passivation, which adheres to the piece by chemical reaction, electrolytic passivation does so by current, carrying out a reverse electrolysis process.
In this type of process, as with the previous passivation that we mentioned, it will be necessary to give temperature and agitation during the process to obtain an optimal finish. If we compare one and the other, we realize that both passivates interact with metal exclusively, avoiding stones or non-metallic parts that our piece may have.
If we ask ourselves the question of which passivation to choose, everything will depend on whether or not we have bathroom equipment in our possession. If we do, we would recommend electrolytic passivation. If, on the other hand, we do not have bath equipment, we would opt for immersion passivation since we would only need a heater with agitation to obtain the best results. See product features: Berkem Catafor cataphoretic lacquer.
Special attention must be paid when choosing the passivation since there are currently some cataphoretic paints on the market that are colorless and can confuse us with the passivated ones. There are also this type of cataphoretic paintings in a multitude of colors. If you want to see more information about this type of product you can see it by clicking on the image.
