Aluminum Etching Specialties

Aluminum processing lines require an etching stage to remove imperfections, providing a finer surface for later anodizing or chromating operations. Our aluminum etching products are formulated to serve this purpose, and they additionally prepare for subsequent chemical processes. Accu-Lab etching compounds minimize the build-up of aluminate sludge and scale. This reduces both particulate contamination of the aluminum surface and scale build-up on the tank and heat exchangers.
