Gesswein Canada is excited to offer the Umicore RHODUNA® PT ONE from Germany which is a unique rhodium alternative that coats jewellery in a white and bright rhodium-platinum alloy with the luster and durability of pure rhodium but at a fraction of the cost. RHODUNA® PT ONE was designed for artisans, so you will need minimal space, equipment, and chemistry to perform the electroplating. The solution consists of 30% rhodium and 70% platinum with a metal content of one gram per liter to make it more economical while delivering a nearly constant 20/80 rhodium-platinum layer up to 0.3?m thick that is indistinguishable from pure rhodium even to the trained eye. With PT ONE, you can expect bright white rhodium-platinum coatings, uniform layer thickness, abrasion resistant and best of all…Economical! A rhodium-platinum combination delivers equal results while reducing production costs!
