ChemPolish SS (RDZ-1815) is an acidic bath used for cleaning, polishing and passivating 300 series (austenitic) stainless steel to render it suitable for use in extreme environments such as high vacuum, medical and aerospace applications. The surface is cleaned completely of any organic contamination and is free of soluble inorganic residues.
MicroPolish and MicroPolish II are two polishes formulated for titanium alloys. Each product acts as a cleaner/deoxidizer and slow chemical polish rapidly removing surface metal oxides but only slowly etching base metals. Of the two polishes, MicroPolish II is characterized by a lower etch rate of the base metal. Overall, the etch rates are low for both polishes when compared to traditional deoxidizing chemistries.
A strong deoxidizer for removing extreme oxides formed by high temperature on Nitinol, and other Titanium alloys. MicroClean™ MV is strongly inhibited from attack on the metal, and will cause negligible metal attack, but usually will clean up essentially any oxide level in a short time (1-5 minutes) and metal loss within this time is minimal
Descale Remover removes the manganese dioxide smut as well as other metal oxides solubilized by Alkaline Descale (RDZ-1734), which is available from RBP. Descale Remover is a mixed acid system which uses hydrochloric as the primary acid source. A strong inhibitor system is built-in to insure no metal attack and no hydrogen embrittlement. The inhibitor system will rinse with water and leave no residue on the metal after rinsing that would interfere with subsequent chemical polishing or plating.
