Activators for Industrial Surface Finishing Applications


Technic supplies an extensive selection of activation chemistry for industrial surface finishing applications. Activators are used in the pretreatment phase for the activation or pickling of the base metal prior to electroplating.

Pickling provides thorough cleaning and activation of the metal surface by removing the oxide layer of the material, which results in a pure metal surface, free of contaminants and oxides.

Technic's advanced activators can be utilized for a wide range of metals such as steel, brass, leaded brass, copper, zinc die-cast, beryllium copper, aluminum, nickel, passive nickel, silver, tin, and lead.
