SOCOSURF A1806 20L PLAST PAIL

ADDITIVE DEOXIDIZER SOCOSURF A 1806 20L/5,3GAL PLAST PAIL is an essential component of the SOCOSURF A1858/A1806 REACh compliant, Cr(VI) and fluoride free aluminium surface treatment bath. The treatment etches, de-smuts and deoxidizes aluminium and its alloys after alkaline treatment, providing a stable etch rate and consistent performance even as the bath ages.

Applications & Features

• SOCOSURF A1806 is the part essential to give all its characteristics to the SOCOSURF A1858/A1806 treatment bath.
• The SOCOSURF A1858/A1806 bath is used by immersion. For spraying, refer to the TDS of SOCOSURF A1858/A1806 WS mix.
• Especially suited for use prior to chromic conversion or solgel treatment such as SOCOGEL, anodising, penetrant inspection, chemical milling, bonding and welding operations.
• Free from hexavalent chromium and fluoride ions, making product handling and waste treatment easier and lower cost.
• Complies with current environmental and safety requirements.
• The absence of fluoride provides a homogeneous attack on alloys and contributes to bath stability and consistent performance.

Bath Components

SOCOSURF A1858 is the acid concentrated part used for setting up the etching deoxidizing bath, while SOCOSURF A1806 is essential to give the treatment bath all its characteristics. SOCOSURF A1858 can be used alone when subsequent treatments are not critical.

Bath active components can be readjusted either by adding the products used for setting up the bath or by adding SOCOSURF A1850 or SOCOMUL TA to lengthen bath life and maintain performance. SOCOSURF A1850 is an acid additive, while SOCOMUL TA allows readjustment of the bath surface tension.
