High-pressure cleaning removes rust, oxide and scale from a machined metal component

RUST, OXIDE & SCALE REMOVAL

Acid-based treatment solutions for derusting, descaling and surface preparation.​

 

Rust, oxides, scale and lime deposits can prevent proper coating adhesion, surface treatment, inspection and further processing. These deposits must be removed correctly before the metal surface can be coated, treated or protected.

​

Safic supplies acid-based chemical solutions for rust removal, oxide removal, descaling and surface preparation applications.

What This Solution
Supports

Rust, oxide and scale removal solutions are used where metal surfaces need to be restored or prepared before further processing.

​

Before acid treatment, surfaces should be clean and free from oil, grease and general dirt. Ferrous metals treated with acid-based products may be susceptible to oxidation after treatment and should be coated or suitably protected.

Typical
Applications

  • Rust removal

  • Oxide removal

  • Mill scale removal

  • Lime deposit removal

  • Acid cleaning

  • Surface preparation before coating

  • Surface preparation before corrosion protection
