It is a reliable surface pretreatment technology that efficiently removes welding burn and oxide scale, bringing out the inherent beauty and corrosion resistance of the metal.
The acid pickling treatment by Toyo Chemical removes scale, welding discoloration, oil, and impurities adhered to the surfaces of metals such as stainless steel through chemical reactions, bringing out the material's inherent luster, cleanliness, and corrosion resistance. It is widely used as a pre-process for electropolishing and passivation treatment, playing a crucial role in creating an important "foundation" that influences the quality of subsequent processes. The treatment is performed by immersing the materials in a specialized chemical solution, which means that no physical pressure is applied, allowing for a uniform finish even on complex shapes and the inner surfaces of pipes. There is almost no dimensional change or damage to the surface, enabling stable treatment regardless of product shape or material. The main target materials are stainless steels such as SUS304 and SUS316, and the shapes we accommodate include pipes, fittings, frames, and sheet metal structures, among others. Acid pickling treatment is effective not only for improving appearance but also for enhancing corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and coating adhesion. We have many successful applications in fields that require high cleanliness and durability, such as medical devices, food manufacturing equipment, and semiconductor-related components. From prototypes to mass production, we propose optimal treatment conditions tailored to your needs.
