Metal Surface Preparation


Environmentally SAFE, Non-hazardous Metal Surface Preparation and Pre Treatment for Steel, Aluminum, Stainless, Galvanized steel. SAVE LABOR, TIME & MONEY by Eliminating Lot of conventional Steps and all Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals in ONE STEP APPLICATION before welding & finishing

One-Step Metal Surface Preparation  a metal surface cleaner, rust remover, 100% rust converter, rust inhibitor, and protective coating (conversion coating). It removes mill oil, dust, surface rust, and white rust, while providing a conversion coating in 1 treatment

WE offer two environmentally safe convenient products for metal prep requirements:

A) Picklex® Pre-treatment/Pickling grade: This grade is used in spraybooth or dipping process, in maximum 4-step process. Replaces phosphate & chromate system. Also it replaces acid de-scaling/pickling through phosphating or rust inhibitor in one step. This process has no sludge, no waste disposal, no waste treatment, no concentration adjustment, no regular monitoring. SEE PICKLEX SECTION FOR APPLICATIONS AND SUMMARY.

B) Picklex® 20 One-Step Metal Prep.: Used in one step spraying/brushing process without any rinsing. Prepares both ferrous & non-ferrous metal surface (including galvanized steel & stainless steel) completely for long term indoor rust protection, welding and finishing (such as, priming, painting, powder coating etc.).SEE PICKLEX 20 FOR APPLICATIONS AND SUMMARY

GREEN TECHNOLOGY – Made in USA TESTED/VERIFIED BY US EPA   Environmentally safe, Non-hazardous, Water based

US EPA has completed their evaluation and testing of Picklex® 20 and Picklex® Process with very promising results and has been published in the scientific journal "Clean Products & Processes", which is linked below.
 

US EPA has established that Picklex® 20 and the alternative process can be used as a replacement of the hazardous/toxic chemicals presently used in metal surface preparation and pretreatment process.
 

US EPA also defined Picklex® 20 as a cost effective, nonpolluting metal surface finishing pretreatment and pretreatment/conversion coating.
 
US EPA has recently published their evaluation/report on Powder Coating and other finishing by Picklex® 20 Process

Picklex 20 A Ready to use product 

  • High Performance, One-Step Rust Remover/Converter/Inhibitor/Primer
  • Ready and Easy to use
  • Metal Surface Cleaning and Conditioning Compound
  • For New and Rusted Metal (Ferrous and Non-Ferrous)
  • One-Step Metal Priming
  • Increases Weld Strength Considerably with Minimum Surface Preparation
  • No Weld Spatter
  • Excellent bonding & corrosion resistance with top coating
  • Approved and Used by Major Industries
  • Shelf life more than 10 years

Performs multiple jobs (eliminates 8 chemical's job) in One-Step

  • Cleans light mill oil, dust, surface rust/flash rust remover (removes flash rust in less than 15 seconds by spraying/brushing and also removes heavy rust by dipping without etching the metal surface)
  • Rust inhibitor: Provides conversion/protective coating for very long-term indoor rust prevention (in terms of years)
  • Rust converter: Converts 100% rust and scale on the metal surface to a conductive conversion coating, ready for welding & finishing
  • Sealer: It seals from moisture/humidity and stops further oxidation
  • Welding/Anti-spatter compound: No weld spatter forms. Increases weld strength considerably. Spraying on the weld provides a very long term rust protection for the weld
  • Pre-treatment chemical: Provides complete surface preparation/pre-treatment for subsequent operations, such as : welding, priming, liquid painting, powder coating, e-coating etc.
  • Provides excellent bonding and corrosion resistance (much longer paint life)
  • De-Scaler: De-scales, coats & seals hot rolled steel with mill scale or heat treat scale in one-step

 Galvanized steel, Aluminum preparation: The only product which prepares galvanized steel & aluminum surface by one-step spraying / brushing before painting (eliminates blasting)

Stainless Steel preparation: The only product which prepares stainless steel surface for clear coating (eliminates Nitric acid passivation or blasting)
 
Steps or conditions eliminated by Picklex® pre-treatment: a)Acid wash b)Rinse c)Rinse d)Chemical sealer e)Waste disposal f)Waste treatment g)Monitoring of the bath h)Continuous concentration adjustment of the bath
i)Sludge cleaning j)Eliminate rusting problems k)Meeting EPA & OSHA regulations l)Hazardous working conditions 
m)Down time during cleaning of the tanks (sludge) and refilling

Applications:

Auto part & body restoration
Paint surface preparation
Flash rust removal & coating
De-rusting tools
For very long-term indoor rust protection
Welding preparation (anti-spatter)
One-step de-scale/coat hot rolled
steel and heat treated metal
