Socomore Socosurf A1858 Deoxidizer

REACH compliant Cr(VI) and fluoride free aluminium surface treatment. Etches, de-smuts and deoxidizes aluminium and its alloys after alkaline treatment. Stable etch rate and consistent performance, even as the bath ages.

It is especially suited for use prior to chromic conversion or solgel treatment such as SOCOGEL, anodising, penetrant inspection, chemical milling, bonding and welding operations. SOCOSURF A1858 can be used alone when the subsequent treatments are not critical.

SOCOSURF A1858/A1806 is a REACH compliant fluoride- and chrome-free deoxidant and neutraliser (after sodic etching) for aluminium alloys. A process used before anodizing, conversion, bonding, penetrant testing or welding.

Features:

• As the product does not contain fluoride the attack rate is stable over time. It is not necessary to adjust the attack rate with additives, or to change the immersion time.
• Improves the overall performance of the surface treatment process, especially for conversion and anodization
• Approved by many OEMs: it enables use of the bath to be optimised for different OEMs and limits authorisation procedures with these OEMs
