Durston 1977 Ultra-Pure White 2 Gram Rhodium Bath Concentrate - 145.621

Durston 1977 Ultra-Pure White Rhodium Bath Concentrate delivers professional-grade rhodium plating in a concentrated 100ml (3.38 oz) formula containing 2 grams of rhodium. Designed for bath rhodium plating, the concentrate is diluted with deionized water to produce exactly 1000ml (33.8 oz / approximately one quart) of working solution at a ratio of 2g rhodium per 100ml. The result is a clean, bright white rhodium finish with excellent coverage, reflectivity, and consistent color across plated surfaces.

The formula is noted for its efficient deposition and strong throwing power, making it well suited for intricate or detailed jewelry pieces that require full, even coverage. It performs particularly well on gold and silver. When plating copper or brass substrates, applying a suitable undercoat — such as silver, nickel, palladium, or platinum — prior to rhodium plating is recommended.

Q&A

Q: What is the Durston 1977 Rhodium Bath Concentrate used for?
A: It is a professional electroplating solution used to create a bright, ultra-white rhodium finish on jewellery and metal components.

Q: What does ā€œ2 gram concentrateā€ mean?
A: It contains 2 grams of rhodium metal, which is diluted with deionised water to create a working plating bath for professional use.

Q: How is it prepared for use?
A: It is typically mixed with deionised water (about 2g per 100ml concentration ratio) to form a 1 litre working solution, depending on the setup and instructions.

Q: What finish does it produce?
A: It produces a bright, mirror-like, ultra-white rhodium finish with high reflectivity and a premium decorative appearance.

Q: What materials can it be used on?
A: It is suitable for gold and silver, and can also be used on copper or brass when properly underplated with nickel, silver, palladium, or platinum for best adhesion.

Q: Is it a final coating or a base layer?
A: It is a final finishing layer, not a base coat—designed to be the top decorative and protective rhodium finish.

Q: What makes this rhodium solution ā€œultra-pureā€?
A: It is formulated for high clarity, strong reflectivity, and consistent deposition, giving a cleaner white finish compared to standard rhodium baths.

Q: Who is it designed for?
A: It is intended for professional jewellers and electroplating workshops using controlled bath plating systems.

Q: Is it safe and easy to use?
A: It requires professional handling and proper plating equipment, as it involves precious metals and controlled chemical processes.

Q: What makes it different from pre-rhodium products?
A: Unlike pre-rhodium or whitening layers, this is a true final rhodium bath designed to deliver the finished surface appearance directly.


Maintenance Tips
  • Store sealed & upright: Keep tightly closed to prevent evaporation, contamination, or concentration drift.
  • Avoid contamination: Use only clean beakers, DI water, and dedicated plating tools—never mix with other metal solutions.
  • Use correct dilution: Prepare working bath exactly as specified (precise concentration ensures stable white finish performance).
  • Control temperature: Do not overheat; excessive heat can degrade whitening performance and reduce bath stability.
  • Keep bath covered: Prevent dust, airborne particles, and evaporation during idle periods.
  • No return contamination: Never pour used solution back into the stock bottle.
  • Monitor performance: If brightness or coverage drops, check for contamination or exhausted bath balance rather than adjusting randomly.
  • Use proper undercoats: Ensure nickel, silver, palladium, or platinum base layers for optimal adhesion and finish quality.
