Palladium Gapal TS

The pure palladium process Gapal TS is a weak alkaline electrolyte, from which bright, decorative white levelled pure palladium layers can be deposited. Gapal TS has been formulated to get crack free and non porous layers. A typical field of application is the watch, bijou and optical frame production. Gapal TS enables deposits of thicknesses above 5microns with mirror bright finish that is the reason why it can be used as an excellent corrosion protection nickel substitute.
