PICKLE PAL®
A non-hazardous inhibitor for use in hydrochloric and sulfuric acid pickle solutions. Improves the pickle’s ability to remove scale and eliminates smut formation from high carbon steels. Low foaming and prevents etching or surface discoloration from over-pickling.
Are you having adhesion issues plating high-carbon, heat-treated steel? Pickle Pal® is a non-hazardous inhibitor used in electroplating designed to prevent the attack of acid on the steel substrate.
Seeing is believing! View our quick Pickle Pal® Demo Video to visibly see the difference as the oxide layer dissolves while the substrate is protected by the acid pickle inhibitor. The end results speak for themselves!
