To make up 1 liter of electrolyte, stir 100 ml of Ruthuna® 475 Black slowly into 800 ml of deionized water and fill up to 1 liter with deionized water.
Umicore Black Ruthenium 475 is strongly recommended to be plated over an undercoat of 18K for proper adhesion. When plating over non-precious metals, plate the item with gold prior to using Black Ruthenium.
