PICKLING PASTE / GEL

Pickling paste removes annealing colours, welding scale, and corrosive deposits in the area of welding and/or heat-affected zones of stainless steel materials.

• Suitable for all types of stainless steel
• Shorter reaction times
• Stronger pickling action
• Easier final rinsing
• Removes the black welding scale and weld discolouration/corrosion
• Thick viscous gel offering the longest moisture phase in the market – the longer the moisture phase, the better the reaction time for a cleaner result
• Very efficient with minimal to no manual cleaning afterwards; only one application is needed in most cases
• Longer shelf-life
•  pickling paste has a long shelf-life

• Best suited for larger objects
• The highly visible red colour indicator achieves controllable spraying, more economical use, and a reduction of emission of poisonous and nitrous gases
• Material surfaces are brightened and show a brilliant optical effect and a uniform finish
• Very efficient with minimal to no manual cleaning afterwards; only one application is needed in most cases
• Long moisture phase – the longer the moisture phase, the better the reaction time for a cleaner result
• Shorter reaction times
• Stronger pickling action
• Easier final rinsing

PICKLING BATH (Concentrate)

• The most efficient method to remove the black welding scale and other contaminants from stainless steel
• Results in a uniform finish on the whole unit
• Excellent for structures that are produced repeatedly – Customise your pickling bath to accommodate various-sized structures
• Increases efficiency and reduces the cost
• 1:1 Dilution rate (always add to water, not concentrate first)
• The bath can be topped up when needed
• Does not contain hydrochloric or sulphuric acids
• Shorter reaction times
• Stronger pickling action
• Easier final rinsing
• Longer shelf-life

PASSIVATION LIQUID

• It is not possible to pickle and passivate in one process – passivating is a separate step
• Restores the passive layer on the stainless steel within 30 minutes – The passive layer is removed by pickling, bead blasting, or any form of abrasive work and ensures a corrosion-resistant surface and reduction of cross-contamination
• Highly recommended for any stainless steel structure close to the coast, and the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, healthcare, and petrochemical industries

ALUMINIUM PICKLING SPRAY

• Removes oxides, annealing colours, and contaminants on aluminium.
• Gives an even surface finish ideal for painting or powder coating.
• Can be brushed on, sprayed on, or used as a bath.

Test before use as different grades of aluminium react differently.
