Meta-Cid AL

Product Code

0037009

Product Description

A highly acidic liquid concentrate, META-CID AL is specially formulated for use in the pretreatment cycle of aluminum alloys. It is an excellent mild etch for aluminum and aluminum alloys prior to electroless nickel, anodizing, welding or applying chemical conversion coatings. It’s very uniform, controlled etching action produces a brighter, cleaner surface and has minimal effect on the dimensions of the work. META-CID AL, with its excellent deep-recess penetration and its long life, cleans hard-to-get-at places and holds soil in suspension in the bath at high capacities, which reduces or virtually eliminates smut formation on the work. META-CID AL is especially effective on difficult-to-plate alloys, particularly those rich in magnesium. It is ideal for high finish aluminum surfaces because it does not appreciably change the appearance of polished aluminum.

Performance Features

  • Uniform etching action produces fewer rejects and increased productivity
  • Effective for pretreating parts where close tolerance is a factor
  • Provides for maximum adhesion and complete plate coverage
  • Minimizes or eliminates smut formation on the work
  • Lower rejects for increased productivity
  • Less dumping for economical operation
  • Contains no chelates; non-fuming at room temperature
  • Minimizes problems associated with waste treatment
